Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Taxes Health Insurance

U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) introduced a bill to extend the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) for struggling workers and families. Extending the HCTC is of particular importance to retired Delphi salaried retirees and United Steelworkers struggling to maintain affordable healthcare. U.S. Reps. Mike Turner (R-OH-10) and Tim Ryan (D-OH-13) introduced a similar bill in the House.

"Delphi retirees and their families rely on the Health Care Tax Credit as a bridge to affordable health coverage," Brown said. "This bill would provide relief for the thousands of Delphi workers and their families who have been forced to wait too long. This is an issue that cannot wait."

"Thousands of Delphi Salaried Retirees and their families depend on the Health Coverage Tax Credit," Portman stated. "Our bill will help these hard-working families regain the financial security that was lost through no fault of their own."
