Episode Synopsis

Open enrollment for health insurance begins November 1st — just four days away. But this year, many hardworking Texans are facing tough choices. Without action from Congress to extend enhanced premium tax credits, families could see their health insurance costs skyrocket — forcing some to choose between keeping their coverage and paying for other essentials like groceries. And it’s not just individuals — small business owners, farmers, and self-employed Texans could be hit hardest, with premiums rising by thousands of dollars.

On Ask the Expert, we're joined by Brendan Buck, a spokesperson for Keep Americans Covered -- a coalition advocating for the extension of these vital tax credits.
