GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ On Sept. 16, Congresswoman Sharice Davids urged congressional leaders to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits before they expire on Sept. 30 so that millions—including over 160,000 Kansans who saved about $700 annually—do not face higher healthcare costs when enrollment begins in November; she warned that without the extension, families may see steep premium hikes that could force them to drop coverage.
