@ -56,3 +60,12 @@ Drew Altman (KFF): Health care costs remain a top voter concern even amid War in
PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[Americas declining life expectancy is driven by deaths of despair concentrated in populations and regions most damaged by economic restructuring since the 1980s]]
WHY ARCHIVED: Documents a second simultaneous coverage compression pathway (marketplace APTC expiry) not captured in existing OBBBA archives — completes the picture of how 2026 represents a double hit to US health coverage across the income distribution
EXTRACTION HINT: Extract as a SEPARATE claim from the OBBBA Medicaid claim. The income levels are different (138-400% FPL vs. <138% FPL), the mechanism is different (premium burden vs. eligibility loss), and the policy source is different (APTC expiry vs. OBBBA). The synthesis value is in showing that TWO independent 2026 policy changes attack coverage simultaneously across the income spectrum.
## Key Facts
- Enhanced premium tax credits were enacted in the American Rescue Plan Act (2021) and extended through the Inflation Reduction Act (2022)
- Enhanced APTCs expired at the end of the 2025 plan year
- OBBBA was signed July 4, 2025 and did not extend enhanced credits
- OBBBA Medicaid work requirements become effective December 31, 2026
- OBBBA semi-annual Medicaid redeterminations become effective October 1, 2026
- KFF projects 10M Medicaid losses by 2034 from OBBBA provisions
