THA is stressing the importance of Congress acting before the end of 2025 to renew the enhanced premium tax credits (EPTC) that help Americans obtain coverage through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace. THA’s new white paper, Keep Texans Insured: Renew the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits, details the dramatic impact of EPTC on Marketplace enrollment both in Texas and across the nation since the creation of EPTC in 2021.
Since that year, individual Marketplace enrollment in Texas has increased by more than 2.6 million – but if the credits are allowed to expire on Dec. 31, approximately 1 million Texans will lose their coverage in the Marketplace. THA will continue to advocate for renewing the EPTCs, including during an advocacy visit to Washington, D.C., to meet with congressional lawmakers and their staffs
