Overview
This House Resolution urges the U.S. Congress to maintain expanded health insurance subsidies available through Pennie in Pennsylvania. These subsidies, established after 2021, have significantly increased enrollment and lowered health insurance costs for many Pennsylvanians. However, these subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025, potentially leading to a 102% increase in monthly premiums and a loss of coverage for many. The resolution highlights projected cost increases across various Pennsylvania counties if the subsidies are not extended.
Key provisions
- Urges the U.S. Congress to retain expanded premium tax credits for Pennie customers.
- Details projected increases in monthly health insurance costs for Pennie users if the credits expire.
- Lists projected cost increases (in dollars) for various Pennsylvania counties.
- References the American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Acts, which extended the subsidies.
- Notes a potential 150,000 customer loss and a 16% decrease in new enrollments if the subsidies expire.
- Highlights a 1.5 ratio of existing customers terminating coverage for each new enrollment during Open Enrollment 2026.
Who is affected
- Pennsylvania residents who utilize Pennie to purchase health insurance.
- The U.S. Congress.
- Health insurance providers operating through Pennie.
- Pennsylvania residents eligible for subsidies.
