Meet James 

James Hollywood III is a small business owner and community leader in Maryland, running a local non-profit that supports young people and their families. Without affordable health insurance from enhanced premium tax credits, he would not have been able to work and support his community. At least not at his best. 

Having health coverage means I can take care of myself so I can continue to show up for others.

James uses his health insurance to go to the doctor for preventive care and manage his mental health without worrying about incurring medical debt. 

As a small business owner, the enhanced premium tax credits have also helped keep his business costs manageable so that he can continue to run a business and his employees can stay healthy.

Tax credits not only help James access health coverage, they also help keep his business costs manageable and keep his employees can stay healthy. But Congress is putting these tax credits at risk. For James and millions like him, Congress must move to make enhanced premium tax credits permanent.

With tax credits set to expire at the end of 2025, Congress is putting James and over 20 million people like him at risk. Congress must move to make enhanced premium tax credits permanent to make it clear that affordable, quality care benefits us all.
