ACA Tax Credits are a Lifelife for Red States

The map below is shaded based on the percent of the state's population that benefits from an ACA tax credit. In red states as a whole, 8.5% of residents benefited from an ACA tax credit this year. If Republicans let enhanced premium tax credits expire, those families would see an average $618 spike in their annual premiums as of 2024.

Note: Average increase in annual premiums for Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Nevada, and Pennsylvania are calculated from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, "2024 Marketplace Open Enrollment Period Public Use Files" and KFF, "How Much More Would People Pay in Premiums if the ACA’s Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Expire?"
