Congresswoman Gwen Moore Votes to Safeguard Affordable Health Care for 24 Million Americans

Thanks to Republican obstruction, Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits expired on December 31st. Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore voted to pass legislation resulting from a successful discharge petition that she supported, which would provide a clean three-year extension of critical ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

“I believe that health care is a human right. The ACA remains a lifesaving resource for millions, including many in our community. Today I voted to protect affordable health care for 24 million Americans. This action is long overdue.

I am pleased that several Republicans helped this bill reach the Floor and pass this chamber. Their support remains critical moving forward. With these credits now expired, it’s past time that Republican leadership in both chambers join us in helping restore access to affordable health care.”
