CRS | Health Insurance Premium Credits in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)
New federal tax credits were authorized in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, P.L. 111-148, as amended), to help certain individuals pay for health insurance coverage, beginning in 2014.

ACA also establishes subsidies to reduce cost-sharing expenses.
