Enhanced Premium Tax Credits

Advocacy Issue: Enhanced Premium Tax Credits

The enhanced premium tax credits (EPTCs) help middle-class Americans purchase affordable, comprehensive coverage on the Health Insurance Marketplace. These tax credits are set to expire at the end of 2025, putting millions of families at risk of higher costs and coverage losses.

AHA Position

The AHA encourages Congress to extend the EPTCs before they expire and leave millions of Americans without coverage.

Project Access To Care: Extend The Enhanced Premium Tax Credits to Preserve Critical Health Coverage for Millions of Americans Infographic PDF. If the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits expire: More than 22 million people who rely on EPTCs will face higher costs. Up to 8.1 million individuals at risk of becoming uninsured over 10 years from EPTC expiration when coupled with other recent policy changes. Out-of-pocket premiums will more than double for consumers, resulting in an average annual tax increase of over $1,000 per person. -$28.2 billion reduction in spending on hospital care over 10 years reducing access to patient care and services
