"We'll give the Republicans another opportunity to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits by introducing an amendment that will extend these tax credits for a three-year period of time, same period of the time that these tax credit were extended back in 2022. Republicans have created a healthcare crisis all across America." Largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health centers closing all throughout the country because of what Republicans did in their one big ugly bill.

"How can you not extend these tax benefits for people who are in such desperate need? You know, look, we're going to continue to try. The beautiful thing about politics is you don't lose, you never lose until you give up trying. And we're not going to give up, and we're gonna fight like hell until this gets done."

STORYLINE:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats on the House Rules Committee will offer an amendment that calls for a three-year extension of enhanced tax credits that make health insurance coverage more affordable for millions.

Their proposal has no chance of passage in the Republican-led House, but it does give them another chance to make the case that Democrats are trying to protect people from massive premium hikes next year.

"How can you not extend these tax benefits for people who are in such desperate need," said Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee.

"The beautiful thing about politics is you don't lose, you never lose until you give up trying. And we're not going to give up, and we're gonna fight like hell until this gets done."

Jeffries said it is his “strong expectation” that they will oppose the bill, which is expected to come before the House on Wednesday.
