2024 MA Senate race: on Health Care


John Deaton: Don’t let ObamaCare tax credits sunset

Quality, affordable health care in America is a necessity and should not be considered out of reach for anyone. Congress must do a better job at reining in administrative costs, but not at the expense of our citizens.
  1. Expand the Premium Tax Credit (PTC) for low-income families. Tax credits implemented under the Affordable Care Act are set to expire in 2025, and it's imperative that Congress has the courage to keep them from sunsetting. This cost-sharing tool allows citizens who seek employment and transition away from Medicaid to maintain support while they adjust to an independent life.
  2. Ban the use of medical debt in credit scoring.
  3. Raise the cap on low-income families eligible for cost sharing reductions (CSRs).
These ideas require bipartisan compromises in order to change America's health care system for the better. As a nonpartisan U.S. Senator, I promise to seek solutions that are not rammed through on party-line votes.
