House Democrats on Tuesday are ramping up their fight for an extension of “cost saving” health care subsidies by gathering at the Capitol as the government shutdown stretches nears its 4-week mark.
The hearing will focus on “the urgent need to strengthen America’s care economy and extend cost-saving health care tax credits that help millions of women and families afford rising health and caregiving costs,” according to a press release.
It also comes as open enrollment for health care insurance is set to begin later this week.
The event is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. EDT.
