Many Americans fear not being able to afford healthcare with ACA tax credits at risk

Chrysa Ostenso is the owner of a small optometry clinic in Lady Smith. She says the ACA tax credits not being extended would force her to pay an extra $1,500 a month for premiums and that she could be forced to go into her 401k assets — and she’s not alone.

The fear comes from Affordable Care Act tax credits set to expire on December 31st, which would result in skyrocketing health insurance premiums for millions of Americans.
