WITTMAN, KIGGANS, AND MCGUIRE DID THAT: Virginians Going Uninsured Due to Expiration of ACA Tax Credits

KFF poll finds majority of Americans blame GOP for high costs

Representatives Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, and John McGuire’s refusal to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits has triggered a sharp rise in premiums, leaving Virginia 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 Virginians is climbing, erasing a decade of progress in national health coverage.

For millions of hardworking Virginia families, the choice between a doctor’s visit and a meal is no longer a hypothetical – it is a daily reality.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Rob Wittman, Jenn Kiggans, and John McGuire failed to extend the ACA tax credits and allowed premiums to skyrocket under their failed leadership. No half measures or empty rhetoric can change that fact. Virginians will remember in November.”
