The resolution from the Alaska State Legislature urges the United States Congress to extend the enhanced tax credits for health insurance premiums provided under the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of 2025. It highlights the importance of affordable health care for the well-being and economic stability of Alaskan residents, noting that the enhanced tax credits have significantly reduced the number of uninsured individuals in the state. The resolution emphasizes that the expiration of these credits would lead to a dramatic increase in health insurance premiums, forcing many residents to choose between health care and other essential needs, while also straining state resources and assistance programs.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on Alaska's congressional delegation to advocate for the extension of these tax credits, stressing that maintaining affordable health care is crucial for the economic stability of families and the overall health of the state's insurance marketplace. The potential consequences of not extending the credits include increased reliance on state-funded programs, destabilization of the health insurance market, and adverse effects on the state's economy. The resolution aims to ensure that all residents have access to affordable health care, thereby promoting their dignity and well-being.
