Live Virtual Briefing: What’s at Stake for 4 Million Texans Who Rely on Marketplace Insurance
Complete Coverage
By: TAHP | Thursday, April 17, 2025
🚨 The Big Picture: Millions of Texans could lose affordable health coverage if critical ACA tax credits expire. Without action, health insurance premiums will spike, coverage losses will rise, and hospitals, doctors, and small businesses will shoulder the fallout.
🗓 Join Rice University’s Baker Institute TODAY at 2:00 p.m. CT for a virtual briefing on the real-world consequences of letting enhanced health insurance tax credits expire at the end of 2025.
🧠 What You Need to Know:
- Nearly 4 million Texans—12% of the state—rely on ACA marketplace coverage with the help of enhanced tax credits.
- These are self-employed Texans, early retirees, gig workers, and hourly employees without employer coverage.
- Letting the credits expire would price many families out of coverage—and dump billions in uncompensated care on the health system.
