Shaheen, Underwood Lead Bicameral Letters Urging Congressional Leaders to Keep Health Care Costs Low by Extending Vital Enhanced Premium Tax Credits

In the Senate letter, the lawmakers wrote: "Over the past 15 years, Congress has made enormous progress toward delivering affordable health care for all Americans. This includes providing additional financial support through enhanced Premium Tax Credits (PTCs) for the 20 million Americans who buy their coverage on the individual marketplaces, expanding Medicaid to cover an additional 24 million people and lowering prescription drug costs for tens of millions of older adults."
