Statement of ACAP CEO Margaret A. Murray on Four GOP House Members Joining Democrat’s ACA Discharge Petition
WASHINGTON — Margaret A. Murray, CEO of the Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP), issued the following statement after four House Republicans Wednesday morning joined House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) discharge petition, setting up a floor vote on a three-year extension of the enhanced premium tax credits (ePTCs), which have made Marketplace coverage more affordable for millions of Americans:
“With the Open Enrollment deadline for January 1st coverage coming and going earlier this week, we’re well past crunch time. We know ePTCs help hardworking Americans nationwide afford the quality health care they deserve, with over 24 million people enrolling this year — a record.
“This legislation represents Congress’ best remaining opportunity to do right by all those who rely on the Marketplaces for affordable coverage. We urge both the House and Senate to come together and get this legislation passed.”
