Yesterday I read a sobering report from the Times Picayune saying that, quote, louisiana stands to lose the most if the ACA premium tax credits expire. According to that report, 85,000 Louisiana residents will lose health insurance. Many will see their premiums skyrocket. The average 60 year old Louisiana couple making $85,000 a year would see insurance costs rise from $600 a month to $2,000 a month [if ACA premium tax credits expire]. Hear that Mr. Speaker? That's your constituents. Good Americans in your own state will suffer the most if the ACA premiums expire people will go bankrupt, people will get sick, people will die. (10:22–10:34)
