Enhanced premium tax credits lower the cost of health care for over 20 million people nationwide, including more than 418,000 Illinoisans. If Congress lets these credits expire, 4.2 million people will lose coverage and premiums will more than double for millions more. That’s a price families can’t afford.

In Illinois, families, older adults, people with preexisting conditions, and small business owners all depend on these credits. Without them, costs will skyrocket — a 60-year-old couple in Illinois would see premiums rise by over $17,000 per year, and families across every congressional district would pay 41% to 120% more.

Ending premium tax credits does nothing to bring down health costs. Instead, it will increase costs for all of us and rip away coverage when families are already stretched thin by the rising cost of living.
