WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) hosted a virtual roundtable with Nevadans who rely on the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits to afford their health coverage. These tax credits will expire soon and Washington Republicans have shut down the government instead of working to address skyrocketing health care costs for Nevada families. Senator Rosen will keep fighting to reopen the government and extend these critical tax credits.

Anchor: “We also checked in with our other Democratic senator, Jacky Rosen. She hosted a virtual roundtable, and that’s who you’re seeing in the box right next to me. These are Nevadans who weighed in, talking about they’re quite concerned about what their premiums are going to be for health care moving forward if congress doesn’t act and get something done. A lot of Nevadans right now [are] on edge wondering if they’re going to be able to afford basic health care.”
Robin Bush: “Without [the tax credit], I would not have had insurance since 2010. But this year, facing the credit going away for next year, it’s a very big concern. They’ve allowed me to, you know, take care of myself, just like Katie said. And, without them, I will not see the doctor. I will not fill my prescriptions.”
