Marketplace Issues/Stability

The AHA and eight other national organizations urge Congress to quickly extend the American Rescue Plan Act’s enhanced premium tax credits for health coverage purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace, which are set to expire this year.
Six national organizations, including the AHA, today urged congressional leaders to permanently expand access to the Affordable Care Act’s advance premium tax credits.
We call on Congress to act now to make the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) expanded access to the ACA’s advanced premium tax credits (APTCs) permanent, ensuring millions of low- and middle-income families continue to have access to affordable coverage in 2023 and beyond.
The AHA commends CMS on the updates to the network adequacy standards, which are critical to ensuring that patients have access to the care they need. We also strongly support CMS’ attention to advancing health equity and look forward to continued partnership on this important work.
The average monthly premium for consumers receiving an advance premium tax credit was $133, down from $164 in 2021.
