October 29, 2025 - 00:23

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dr. Raul Ruiz is actively working in Washington, D.C. to end the ongoing government shutdown and safeguard affordable health care for American families. This morning, he took part in a Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing, where he voiced his commitment to the millions of Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits for essential medical care.

These crucial tax credits, which have significantly improved access to health services, are set to expire at the end of 2025 unless Congress intervenes. The potential loss of these benefits could have devastating consequences for families across the nation, particularly those who are already struggling to make ends meet. Congressman Ruiz emphasized the urgent need for legislative action to ensure that health care remains accessible and affordable for all. His efforts reflect a broader commitment to protecting the well-being of constituents and addressing the pressing health care needs of the American population.
