Advocacy Issue: Enhanced Premium Tax Credits

The federal government offers enhanced premium tax credits (EPTCs or tax credits) to help some individuals and families purchase insurance on the health insurance marketplaces. These 2021 tax credits — due to expire in 2025 — have resulted in an additional 10 million people gaining coverage through the health insurance marketplaces and others receiving assistance paying their health insurance costs.

AHA Position

In support of the health of our patients and communities, as well as the stability of the entire health care system, the AHA urges Congress to extend the enhanced premium tax credits.
