Last week, our team traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate for continued access to affordable health care for Washington families. Right now, enhanced premium tax credits are helping thousands of people save on their monthly health insurance costs. Without action, these credits are set to expire at the end of the year, potentially increasing premiums by hundreds of dollars each month for many families. We had the opportunity to meet with Representative Suzan DelBene to discuss the importance of preserving these savings. We're grateful for her partnership and ongoing commitment to accessible, affordable health care for all Washingtonians.
