Tax Relief: Including Medicare Premiums in Health Insurance Tax Credit Calculation.
This bill changes how the health insurance Premium Tax Credit (PTC) is calculated. It allows eligible families to include Medicare premiums paid by household members when determining their subsidy amount. This adjustment can lead to a higher tax credit, effectively lowering the out-of-pocket cost for purchasing health coverage on the marketplace.
Key points
Increases the potential health insurance tax credit for families where household members pay Medicare (Parts A, B, C, D, or Medigap) premiums.
The change aims to make marketplace health insurance more affordable for qualifying low- and middle-income households.
