"In a Friday appearance on Fox News, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said that 57% of people who identify themselves as MAGA republicans support an extension of Obama-era tax credits for those who buy their own health insurance through the ACA Marketplace. The statistic comes from a new poll published on Friday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, which found that 78% of all adults support Congress in extending these tax credits, along with 57% of MAGA Republicans."
"This is an issue that matters not just to people who are Democrats or independents, but to Republicans as well, said Shaheen, appearing live from Capitol Hill as she and her colleagues worked to reach an agreement to end the ongoing government shutdown. The shutdown began on Wednesday, triggered in part by disagreements about whether, how, and when to extend the expiring tax credits, according to KFF. President Donald Trump's administration has maintained that Democrats are to blame."
A new poll finds 78% of adults and 57% of self-identified MAGA Republicans support extending Obama-era premium tax credits for ACA Marketplace enrollees. Disagreements about whether, how, and when to extend the expiring credits contributed to a government shutdown beginning Wednesday. The administration has blamed Democrats for the shutdown. Nonpartisan analyses indicate premiums would double for many recipients if the credits expire. Over 70% of people who benefit from these premium tax credits live in states won by President Trump. Lawmakers face pressure to reach a bipartisan fix to preserve affordability and address concerns from both parties.
