Democrats Pressure Johnson on Health Care Tax Credits

Democrats are ramping up pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to schedule a vote on health care tax credits, a key part of the Affordable Care Act, to prevent massive premium increases for millions of Americans. Kansas Representative Sharice Davids led fifty-eight Democrats in urging Johnson to quickly hold a vote, as promised by Senate Majority Leader John Thune. However, Johnson has not made a similar commitment. Democrats warn of a looming affordability crisis, with potential premium increases averaging twenty-six percent and some seeing increases as high as three thousand percent if the temporary enhanced tax credits expire.
