Small Business Majority urges Senate to pass bipartisan three-year extension of ACA enhanced premium tax credits

Friday, January 9, 2026
On January 9, Small Business Majority sent a letter urging the Senate to swiftly pass the bipartisan three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits (EPTCs) that was approved by the House on January 8. Since the EPTCs expired in December, millions of small business owners and employees are facing significantly higher premium costs this year, threatening their ability to maintain health coverage and keep their doors open. With the 2026 plan year already underway, Congress must act immediately to prevent further harm to small business owners and employees who rely on the ACA Marketplace and enhanced subsidies to access affordable health coverage.
