Health Care Affordability Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • This bill makes permanent expanded health insurance premium tax credits that were temporarily increased by prior pandemic-relief legislation.
  • People who buy health insurance through exchanges and claim premium tax credits are affected, particularly lower- and middle-income households.
  • The bill eliminates income caps and locks in lower contribution percentages for tax credits, increasing federal subsidy costs permanently.
