Congresswoman Nikema Williams Statement on Legislation to Extend the ACA Tax Credits

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) released the following statement on the forced up-or-down vote to restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits and lower healthcare costs:

Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) said: 

“Since day one, Donald Trump and House Republicans have failed to address the affordability crisis hurting working American families at every turn. On January 1, they made the cost of living even worse, raising health care costs for millions of Americans.

House Democrats forced a vote to lower your costs and to fight the Republican health care crisis. My vote today was on behalf of the 94,000 Fighting Fifth constituents and small business owners who have seen their premiums skyrocket. No matter your ZIP code—no matter your bank account—health care is a basic human right, and I will always fight to ensure that right for everyone.”
