Ansari, Stanton, Grijalva Call on Ciscomani to Keep His Word and Back Clean ACA Tax Credit Extension

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, after four House Republicans joined all House Democrats in forcing a vote on a clean, three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits, Arizona Representatives Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), Greg Stanton (AZ-04), and Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) released the following statement:

"Extending these tax credits is the only realistic way to lower premiums and protect health coverage for working families. Four Republicans chose people over politics and joined Democrats in demanding a vote. Unfortunately that did not include any of our Republican colleagues from Arizona, including Congressman Juan Ciscomani who has said, "doing nothing is not an option."

Once again, the Republican majority had a chance to protect health care for more than 400,000 Arizonans, and chose not to act. We urge Speaker Johnson to bring this bill to the floor before the tax credits expire at the end of the year, and we hope our Arizona colleagues across the aisle will join us in supporting it."
