Fahad Tahir, president and CEO of Ascension Saint Thomas, is urging Congress to extend the healthcare tax credits that help nearly 610,000 Tennesseans afford coverage. Without these subsidies, premiums are projected to rise by an average of 93%, forcing many families to choose between essential living expenses and health care. Tahir emphasized that extending the tax credits is critical to keeping care affordable and protecting the health of Tennesseans.
