Washington, D.C. <\/strong>\u2014 Georgians are delaying necessary care and paying thousands more for health insurance after ACA tax credits expired, a new report from U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff found.

Early this year, Sen. Ossoff launched an investigation into the impacts of rising health care costs and cuts to health care services after Republicans in Congress gutted Medicaid<\/a> and failed to extend the Affordable Care Act\u2019s enhanced premium tax credits that millions of Georgians rely upon to afford health care.

Today, Sen. Ossoff released a new report<\/a> with stories of Georgians who report they have been delaying necessary care and are paying thousands more for care after the loss of the ACA tax credits, with some saying they\u2019ve lost insurance altogether because of the high costs.

Recent analysis from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/em><\/a> found that after the ACA tax credits expired at the end of last year, roughly 350,000 Georgians have already lost health care.

\u201cThe failure of Republicans to extend ACA tax credits has inexplicably hurt Georgia families, leading to hundreds of thousands going without health care, and more seeing huge increases in their premiums. I will continue working to restore these tax credits and to lower health care costs for Georgia families,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.

<\/strong>Since the enhanced ACA tax credits expired at the end of 2025, Georgia patients on exchange plans are facing increased monthly premiums, deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and medication costs, forcing them to cut back on other items to keep their health insurance and to pay higher costs for less coverage. In some cases, Georgians have lost their insurance altogether. As detailed in the report:
