I continued to push for the extension of the Affordable Tax Credit subsidies.
Extend Affordable Care Act tax credit subsidies.
Occurrences
Evidence
Subtitle C is titled "Affordable Care Act Subsidies." Section 12001 amended Internal Revenue Code section 36B by replacing 2021/2022 language with coverage "after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2026" and headings reading "2021 THROUGH 2025."
The Clerk lists Discharge Petition No. 10 for H.Res. 780, providing for consideration of H.R. 1834. Brittany Pettersen, Colorado CO-07, Democratic, appears as signature number 131 with signed date November 12, 2025.
Section 1 is titled "Extension of enhanced premium tax credit" and would replace "through 2025" with "through 2028" and "before January 1, 2026" with "before January 1, 2029." The text says it passed the House January 8, 2026, and was read the second time and placed on the Senate calendar February 10, 2026.
Congress.gov lists the latest action as Senate, February 10, 2026: read the second time and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar, Calendar No. 319. The tracker status is "Passed House," with later steps "Passed Senate," "To President," and "Became Law" not completed.
Roll Call 11 on H.R. 1834, Breaking the Gridlock Act, was an On Passage vote. Status: Passed. Vote totals were yea 230, nay 196. The Clerk lists Pettersen, Democratic, Colorado, as voting Yea.
Assessments
The promised outcome was an enacted extension of Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credit subsidies. H.R. 1834 directly matched that goal and passed the House on January 8, 2026, with Pettersen voting yea and previously signing the discharge petition to force consideration. But the latest Congress.gov status shows the bill only placed on the Senate calendar on February 10, 2026, with no Senate passage, presidential signature, or law enacted. That is a serious legislative effort but not delivery of the promised policy.
