In Statement to Capitol Hill – FAH Supports Extending Tax Cuts, Enhanced Tax Credits

Today, FAH submitted a statement for the record ahead of tomorrow’s House Ways & Means hearing entitled “The Need to Make Permanent the Trump Tax Cuts for Working Families.”

The statement supports the 2017 tax reforms that prevented increases for American families and businesses. Additionally, FAH urges Congress to capitalize on tax reform by extending the enhanced premium tax credits. The statement cites the 20 million Americans, including small business owners, farmers, and self-employed individuals who rely on the tax credits. The extension of the credits would allow for full participation in the American economy rather than worrying about how to afford health coverage.
