If Congress does not extend enhanced premium tax credits (PTCs) after 2025, 4 million people would become uninsured
—nearly 2.5 million of them in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act—and the number of uninsured would increase by 16 percent.
Urban’s new interactive data tool and related analysis shows how the expiration of the enhanced tax credits would affect people of different income levels, ages, races, and ethnicities nationwide. The population estimated to be most affected is concentrated among Black and Hispanic communities in states that have not adopted Medicaid expansion.
