ACA Tax Credit Solution Bill Emerges with Most Bipartisan Support

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressmen Mike Lawler (R-NY), Zach Nunn (R-IA), and Ro Khanna (D-CA) joined Representatives Kevin Kiley (R-CA) and Sam Liccardo (D-CA) in backing the Fix It Act, the only bipartisan proposal that extends ACA tax credits and pays for itself, which now has the broadest bipartisan coalition of any two-year extension of ACA tax credits.

By cracking down on Medicare Advantage waste, capping eligibility while protecting working-class recipients, and halting insurance fraud by unscrupulous brokers, the Fix It Act would prevent 22 million Americans who rely on ACA tax credits from seeing a sudden spike in healthcare costs, without adding to our nation’s deficit.

“Our bipartisan legislation will assure Americans are spared from a massive increase in health care costs that is just around the corner,” said Rep. Kiley. “It provides a two-year extension for tax credits that 22 million Americans rely on, and does so in a fiscally responsible way – without increasing the deficit.”

“There’s a clear path to getting this done,” Rep. Liccardo said. “To my colleagues who want to protect Americans from skyrocketing premiums and pay for it by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, join us—and let’s fix it.”

“I’m proud to cosponsor this bill because it takes a responsible, meaningful step toward lowering healthcare costs for families who are being squeezed from every direction,” said. Rep. Lawler. “Too many folks in the Hudson Valley tell me the same thing: premiums are up, out-of-pocket costs are up, and the system feels harder to navigate every year. This legislation tackles those challenges head-on by increasing transparency, improving competition, and making it easier for patients to get the affordable care they deserve. My priority has always been delivering real, practical solutions for the people I represent, and this bill does exactly that.”

“Iowans deserve affordable health care coverage, but we can’t keep asking taxpayers to bankroll a broken system,” said Rep. Nunn. “This bill offers a commonsense bridge by protecting working Iowans from premium spikes while holding insurers accountable and cracking down on fraud. It’s the kind of bipartisan fix we need for short-term stability so that we can negotiate long-term reform.”

“There is a healthcare affordability crisis in this country. Bringing down costs shouldn’t be partisan,” said Rep. Khanna. “I am proud to cosponsor Rep. Liccardo and Rep. Kiley’s bill, the Fix It Act, to extend ACA premium tax credits for two years to stop healthcare costs from spiking for 22 million Americans who rely on them.”
