ANN WAGNER DID THAT: Missourians Going Uninsured Due to Expiration of ACA Tax Credits

KFF poll finds majority of Americans blame GOP for high costs

Ann Wagner’s refusal to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits has triggered a sharp rise in premiums, leaving Missouri families with impossible choices. According to new reports, a staggering majority of ACA enrollees are now cutting back on food, utilities, and other essentials just to afford their monthly premiums.

As premiums skyrocket, the number of uninsured Missourians is climbing for the first time in years, erasing a decade of progress in national health coverage.

For millions of hardworking Missouri families, the choice between a doctor’s visit and a meal is no longer a hypothetical – it is a daily reality that will be answered at the ballot box.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Ann Wagner bent the knee to Donald Trump and failed to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Missourians will remember in November.”
