House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference on January 12, 2026, strongly urging Senate Republicans to advance a bipartisan House-passed bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits that expired at the end of 2025. Jeffries highlighted that the bill passed the House with bipartisan support and warned that without action, health insurance premiums could surge for millions of Americans already struggling amid a cost-of-living crisis. He criticized GOP leadership for delaying a vote and prioritized working-class families’ healthcare over wealthy tax breaks.
