Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz confirmed Sunday that the Trump administration is mulling the extension of Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.

The premium tax credits initially drafted under the Affordable Care Act were enhanced under the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. These credits were set to expire at the end of this year, nearly 19 months after then-President Joe Biden declared the coronavirus pandemic had ended.
