Congressman Glenn Ivey Votes For 3-Year Extension of ACA Tax Credits

WASHINGTON DC - Rep. Glenn Ivey (MD-04) just delivered on a promise to help Prince Georgians and Montgomery County residents on healthcare. His YES vote on the bipartisan ACA enhanced premium tax credit renewal, shields Marylanders from skyrocketing healthcare bills. This triumph came via Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries's discharge petition, pushing past Speaker Mike Johnson's blockade on a 2025 House vote.

Ivey's strong voice on ACA health care subsidies helps to prevent nearly 300,000 Marylanders from premium Armageddon-costs set to double or triple without these credits. The Maryland Insurance Administration warns of a brutal 13.4% statewide average hike in 2026, fueled by the credits' expiration, slashing $55 million in potential annual savings. Families could face $57-$258 more monthly, while a Beltsville couple earning $90,000 might swallow over $1,000 extra, pure Republican-fueled chaos after their $1 trillion Medicaid and $500 billion Medicare cuts ravaged Prince George's and Montgomery Counties.

"America's choking on a GOP healthcare catastrophe-kicking folks off coverage, gutting services, and jacking up prices," Congressman Glenn Ivey (MD-04), said. "These restored ACA tax credits slash premiums now, delivering real relief to everyday Marylanders crushed by costs we can't ignore. Locking this into law addresses affordability when families need it most, if the Republican-led Senate does their part by voting YES to renew the Obamacare healthcare credits," stated Ivey.
