But House Republicans voted to let Affordable Care Act premium tax credits expire, and premiums jumped about 114% for millions of Americans. #Healthcare #ACA #Congress
Those subsidies helped more than 22 million people afford insurance. Once they lapsed, families saw real bills. A household earning about $45,000 a year that previously paid nothing for coverage could face more than $1,600 annually. The Congressional Budget Office estimates roughly 4 million people could lose coverage as costs rise.

A Republican congressman was asked why he voted to raise healthcare prices. He said Republicans lowered costs.
It’s the same line House Republicans keep repeating. Here’s what actually happened.
They let ACA premium tax credits expire. Premiums went up 114 percent on average. A family of four making $45,000 a year went from paying $0 to over $1,600. Four million people are projected to lose coverage.
The vote is public. The outcome is public. And Americans are already paying the price. Follow @eorlins for more.
