A bipartisan majority in Congress supports extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits. I am here with my House Democratic colleagues demanding Speaker Johnson allow the House to vote on extending these cost-saving credits today. www.youtube.com/live/IN-38gS...

I was honored to speak at the statue unveiling of Barbara Johns to replace Robert E. Lee. At just 16 years old, her strength & belief in equality and justice helped change the nation for the better. I can't think of a better example of a Virginian to represent the Commonwealth in the U.S. Capitol.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

President Trump’s comments are beneath the dignity of the presidency. Everyone should condemn them. www.cnn.com/2025/12/15/p...

One of the downsides of serving in President Donald Trump’s movement is that the moral high ground is extremely unsteady terrain.

A hallmark of Trump’s America: paying more and getting less. More from @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/h...

$Graphic with New York Times headline: Obamacare Users Will Be Asked to Pay More for Plans That Cover Less In smaller text, an excerpt of the article: Millions of Americans are confronting the highest health insurance costs in years. For those enrolling in Obamacare for next year, the plans will cover a considerably smaller fraction of their medical bills.$

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 11(source)

Millions of Americans are going to see their health care costs explode because Congressional Republicans refuse to extend these subsidies.

The Senate blocked a bill to extend Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, all but ensuring they will expire at the end of the year.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 11(source)

It is long overdue for the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings and investigate all potential high crimes and misdemeanors committed by President Trump. My full statement: bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...

#BREAKING: The House voted to table a resolution to impeach President Trump after Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) forced a vote on the matter, scuttling the snap impeachment push with the help of Democratic leaders voting “present” rather than aiding Green with the effort.

Today, @bobbyscott.house.gov , @pocan.house.gov, @debbiedingell.house.gov, @norcross.house.gov, and @rephorsford introduced a landmark bill to level the playing field and hold dishonest employers accountable. The LET'S Protect Workers Act would raise penalties for violating workers’ rights.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 9(source)

President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010. Republicans have been trying to coalesce around a health care plan for over 15 years.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 8(source)

Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. We only need a few House Republicans to join us and save health care for millions of Americans.

Affordable Care Act subsidies that help millions of Americans pay for health insurance will expire in less than a month. Households will probably face spiking insurance costs next year if a bipartisan deal can’t be reached.
