Hakeem Jeffries: “A couple that makes $88,000 a year currently receives tax…”

“And people throughout this country should be able to afford to go see a doctor when they need one for themselves, their family, their children. We're fighting for couples which in this particular moment in time, for instance, A couple that makes $88,000 a year currently receives tax credits connected to the Affordable Care act, pays about $8,000 a year, which is already too expensive. But if we allow the Affordable Care act tax credits to expire, their costs will triple to $24,000 a year. That that's unacceptable. And by the way, the states that are most affected are all states that Donald Trump has won. In fact, I think it's the top five states, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alaska, Mississippi and Tennessee.” (04:12–04:32)
