(Washington, D.C.) Congressman Chris Deluzio, who represents the 17th Congressional District, gave a warning in Washington D.C. recently that without tax credit extension, health insurance premiums will increase. The government shutdown is in its third week, and tax credits from the Affordable Care Act is one of the reasons for it holding up. Deluzio noted that if change does not come in his district, 24,000 people that receive their coverage through the Pennsylvania marketplace Pennie could see their premiums increase by 75%.
