The Leadership Council of Aging Organizations (LCAO), whose members include 68 leading national nonprofit organizations including LeadingAge, in an October 1, 2025, letter urged congressional leaders to permanently extend the enhanced premium tax credits (EPTCs), which are set to expire at the end of 2025.

The looming loss of the EPTCs for individuals enrolled in healthcare coverage plans via the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace could trigger stark rises in premiums, with some estimations as high as 58.9%. This is particularly relevant to over 10 million individuals between the ages of 45-64.

LeadingAge serves on the LCAO steering committee. Read the letter here.
