Enhanced Premium Tax Credits
Over 1.3 million Floridians stand to lose health coverage if Congress allows enhanced premium tax
credits to expire. These credits make coverage affordable for families, many earning less than
200% of the federal poverty level. Without congressional action, the resulting coverage losses
will create far-reaching consequences for patients, providers, and Florida’s health care system.
