北达科他州保险专员警告延长ACA税额减免,
North Dakota’s insurance commissioner warns extending ACA tax credits is urgent to prevent steep premium hikes ahead of enrollment.
北达科他州保险专员乔恩·戈德弗雷德敦促国会在12月底到期前延长可负担护理法案的保险费税额抵免,并警告说,如果没有这些抵免,大约34 000名居民的保险费每年可增加500美元—每年6 000美元—对小企业主、农民和牧场主造成不成比例的影响。
North Dakota’s Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread is urging Congress to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits before they expire at the end of December, warning that without them, premiums for about 34,000 residents could rise by $500 monthly—$6,000 annually—disproportionately affecting small business owners, farmers, and ranchers.
这些信贷对于ACA市场价格的承受能力至关重要,现在是联邦停业谈判的一个关键点,民主党人与医疗补助保护组织和反对这种联系的共和党人一道,推动扩大信贷范围。
The credits, vital for affordability on the ACA Marketplace, are now a key point in federal shutdown negotiations, with Democrats pushing for their extension alongside Medicaid protections and Republicans opposing the linkage.
Godfread强调,推迟行动可能会在11月至12月开放的入学期间阻遏入学,从而可能导致人们失去保险。
Godfread stresses that delaying action risks deterring enrollment during the November–December open enrollment period, potentially leaving people uninsured.
他呼吁立即采取非党派行动,防止混乱,并指出,如果没有信贷,国家保险费可能会翻一番。
He calls for immediate, nonpartisan action to prevent disruption, noting that without credits, national premiums could double.
