More than 12 million small business owners and employees are facing a dramatic rise in health insurance premiums, unless Congress acts

Small Business "Backbone" Podcast by Frank Knapp

Episode notes

Affordable health insurance is facing a crisis if Congress refuses to extend the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits in the Affordable Care Act. Matt McGough of KFF talks with podcast host Frank Knapp about how these tax credits make health insurance more affordable and why over 12 million Americans, many of whom are small business owners and their employees, will likely not be able to afford health insurance through the ACA if this happens. This is a looming disaster for health care, the economy, and potentially for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.
