Enhanced health care tax credits lower the cost of health insurance for 20 million+ Americans, but they will expire at the end of the year. If Congress doesn’t act soon, more than 4 million people—including cancer patients—will lose health coverage, and costs will skyrocket. #HealthNotHikes

⚠️ On Jan. 1, millions of people in the U.S. will face skyrocketing health care costs. Monthly premiums could double or triple. Many cancer patients may no longer be able to afford their care.
We can stop this. Call your members of Congress & urge them to extend the enhanced health care tax credits.
