That work includes extending – and expanding – the ACA Premium Tax Credits that are set to expire at the end of 2025 so that families do not have their health care ripped away.
Extend and expand the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits before they expire at the end of 2025.
Occurrences
His YES vote on the bipartisan ACA enhanced premium tax credit renewal shields Marylanders from skyrocketing healthcare bills.
Rep. Glenn Ivey (MD-04) just delivered on a promise to help Prince Georgians and Montgomery County residents on healthcare. His YES vote on the bipartisan ACA enhanced premium tax credit renewal, shields Marylanders from skyrocketing healthcare bills.
Evidence
The office published a Jan. 8, 2026 press release titled 'Congressman Glenn Ivey Votes For 3-Year Extension of ACA Tax Credits,' saying his yes vote on the bipartisan ACA enhanced premium tax credit renewal would shield Marylanders from higher health-care bills and that the vote came through a discharge petition.
HealthCare.gov says the additional savings available because of the COVID pandemic ended on December 31, 2025, and that people in 2026 will likely pay more for Marketplace premiums unless they qualify for other savings.
Public Law 117-169 amended Internal Revenue Code section 36B to apply the enhanced ACA premium tax-credit rules for taxable years "after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2026" and labeled the period "2021 through 2025."
HealthCare.gov states that the additional pandemic-era savings "ended on December 31, 2025" and warns that qualifying consumers in 2026 will likely pay more for Marketplace premiums.
Ivey's office announced that he voted for a three-year extension of ACA tax credits and described the vote as coming through a discharge petition.
The Guardian reported that the House voted 230-196 on January 8, 2026 to approve a three-year extension of ACA credits, after the credits had expired at the end of 2025; it also reported Senate action was still needed and prior similar Senate action had failed.
Axios reported that the House approved a clean three-year extension of enhanced ACA subsidies by a 230-196 vote, with all Democrats and 17 Republicans supporting it; CBO estimated the three-year extension would add $80.6 billion to deficits over a decade.
Assessments
The enhanced ACA premium tax credits were scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025 and official Marketplace guidance indicates they did expire, with higher 2026 premiums expected. Ivey supported the policy and voted on January 8, 2026 for a House-passed three-year extension through a discharge-petition process, but that vote came after the promised deadline and was not enacted into law. Because the promised extension and expansion before expiration did not occur, this is not delivered, though Ivey made a serious legislative effort in the same congressional term.
The promised outcome was to extend and expand the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits before their December 31, 2025 expiration. The credits expired at the end of 2025, so the deadline was missed. Ivey did materially support the effort in the same federal House term by backing and voting for a January 8, 2026 House-passed three-year extension forced through a discharge petition, but House passage after expiration did not by itself enact the extension into law. This counts as a serious legislative attempt, not fulfillment.
