CHA Encourages Congress to Extend the Health Tax Credits

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA) President and CEO Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM, issued the following statement on health tax credits.

"With the government finally reopened, Congress should move immediately to extend the health tax credits before they expire at the end of the year. Open enrollment is underway, and many families are experiencing significant sticker shock as they search for coverage. For households already stretched thin by inflation and rising everyday expenses, the prospect of even higher health care costs is unsustainable.

Health care is a basic human right-not something reserved for those who can afford it. Congress must act swiftly to ensure that every person has access to affordable, reliable coverage. Extending these tax credits isn't just a necessary step-it's a vital safeguard for millions of families who depend on stable, affordable health care."
