    CT State Senator Matt Lesser on the “Face More Facts” Podcast to talk Affordability in Our State

    CT Senator Matt Lesser joins NBC’s Mike Hydeck and reporter Mike Savino to discuss how CT Democrats are helping residents with the federal cuts under Trump’s “Big not-Beautiful Bill.”

    In this episode, Senator Lesser explains that CT Senate Bill 3 reduces the effects of federal cuts, one being the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies. It ensures residents won’t lose health coverage and also helps hospitals in distress due to lack of funding. To do this, Governor Lamont approved a one-time funding of a temporary Affordable Health Insurance Trust to cover the tax credits taken away by Trump.

    CT Congressman Larson fights to extend Health Care Tax Credits

    From the desk of Congressman Larson:

    Congress is back to work in Washington, and I am continuing to fight to lower skyrocketing health care costs and ensure everyone can access the care they need. Last week, 17 House Republicans joined Democrats to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits 20 million Americans rely on. We had the votes to pass this bill at the end of the year, but Republicans shamefully decided to leave town early for the holidays, allowing these critical tax credits to expire.

    It’s now up to the Senate to take action and send this bill to the President’s desk to grant families the relief they need. In the wealthiest nation in the world, no one should have to choose between health care and paying the rent.
