Call on Congress to Prioritize APTCs Extension

Summary: The Arthritis Foundation is worried because the Senate voted against keeping special tax credits that help pay for health insurance. These credits make health care cheaper for millions of Americans. Without them, people with arthritis and other long-term illnesses might not be able to afford their medicine or doctor visits. If people skip going to the doctor because it costs too much, they can get much sicker, which ends up costing everyone more. The Foundation is asking lawmakers to protect affordable health care so families don't have to choose between their health and their money.
