Washington D.C — Unrig Our Economy Campaign Director Leor Tal released the following statement in response to Politico’s report that Senate Republicans are delaying a proposal for extending health care tax credits.
“Millions of Americans are paying sky-high health insurance premiums after Congressional Republicans ended the health care tax cuts working families depend on. A three-year extension has already cleared the House with bipartisan support.
“Any delay needlessly sticks millions of working people with higher costs; There is no excuse. Senate Republicans must pass this bipartisan legislation today, end the Republican health care crisis, and deliver immediate relief to American families.”
