Question 1 of 3

The larger Affordable Care Act tax credits, which cut what enrollees pay each month, expired in 2025. The Congressional Budget Office estimates making them permanent would add about $350 billion to deficits over ten years.

Should Congress restore them for good?

Restore them. Lower monthly costs, and coverage for about 3.8 million more people by 2035, are worth it, even though it adds about $350 billion to deficits

Keep them expired. The larger credits were a temporary pandemic measure, not worth $350 billion in deficits to make permanent, even though about 3.8 million fewer people will be insured by 2035
