Jennifer McClellan Criticizes Mike Johnson for Delaying ACA Vote Before Christmas

ACA Premium Tax Credits at Risk

• 🎄 The week before Christmas is highlighted as a critical time for passing legislation to prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing.
• 💡 A bill to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits is ready for a majority House vote, but the Speaker has sent members home.
• ⚠️ Without these tax credits, which expire at year-end, millions will struggle to afford healthcare, impacting small business owners, employees, gig workers, farmers, and the self-employed.

Call for Immediate Action

• ✍️ 218 House members signed a petition to bring a three-year tax credit extension to the floor for a vote.
• 🗣️ The speaker's statement that "Our work for the year is done" is questioned, with an emphasis on the necessity of passing this one crucial bill.
• ✊ Despite the delay, the message is to "don't give up the fight", with a promise of a vote in January.
