WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, issued the following statement after voting to extend Covid-era Enhanced Premium Tax Credits through the Affordable Care Act (ACA):
“I voted today to extend the enhanced tax credits for ACA plans. The cost of health care is still too high because of the failed Obamacare policies that removed choice and raised premiums with punishing government mandates on our working families. Close to 45,000 Ohioans in our district currently have these plans, and I want to make sure that they do not lose access to a plan that they have relied on as Congress continues addressing the high cost of health care.
“I will continue working with my House colleagues to advance bipartisan proposals that provide more affordable, more accessible health care options directly to the working families of our district.
“The partisan Obamacare system as is it exists has raised costs for everyone, but I want to give Ohioans certainty as we work to unravel the higher costs Americans face from the failed policies of the past.”
