NEW POLL: Republicans Will Be Blamed if ACA Tax Credits Expire

KFF Poll also finds 7 in 10 Republicans support extending the tax credits

Voters will punish House Republicans if they fail to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire at the end of the year, according to a new poll from KFF.

The poll also found 58% of people with health insurance from the Affordable Care Act would not be able to afford a $300 increase in premium. 

Mike Johnson and House Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. This week, Politico reported Republicans privately fear the threat of a primary if they were to work in a bipartisan manner to ensure hardworking Americans receive affordable health care.

Recent reporting suggests that some so-called moderate House Republicans with long records of deriding the Affordable Care Act are now pretending to support a last-minute band aid by sending off half-hearted letters and giving insincere statements to the press, but they have refused to take action.

Every single House Democrat has signed onto a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits for three years, but not a single House Republican has joined. Why? 

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:  
“The clock is ticking for Congress to take action on fixing the Republican health care crisis, but the so-called moderates are refusing to act. These phonies will be held accountable for their cruelty next year.”
