As the year 2025 is coming to a close, a huge fight has broken out in Congress over healthcare costs in the United States. The big issue at the center of the battle is the set of tax credits that are about to expire. The Democrats want to keep granting citizens tax breaks to help pay for insurance, but on the other hand, the Republicans want to end those deals.
Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett is leading the charge against President Donald Trump and the GOP. She said that by letting these discounts expire, the Republicans are hurting millions of Americans because only the wealthy are benefiting when they allow the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits lapse. She warned that over 17 million people are at risk of losing their health insurance or facing 'skyrocketing' premiums.
