A caller asked why Moore would vote against extending the COVID‑era enhanced premium tax credits (EPTCs) for Obamacare marketplace plans. Moore responded that the permanent baseline subsidies enacted earlier remain in place, but the enhanced credits created during the COVID period are set to expire and were politically enacted under Democratic majorities.

"The Obamacare subsidies that have been in place since 2014 are not expiring... The ones that are... expiring are what's called the enhanced premium tax credits," Moore said. He argued that moving many premiums to $0 can raise fraud risks because some enrollees never use care and there is less of a financial engagement that helps confirm enrollment and usage. Moore said the EPTC expansion was tied to a political package and had an expiration date set by Democrats.

Moore also raised the Hyde Amendment as a complicating factor for some Republicans, saying earlier enactments did not carry Hyde Amendment protections and that requirement — a long‑standing appropriations rider that restricts federal funding for abortion care — has been a sticking point for some members.

The representative framed his preference toward a package of Republican health reforms focused on reducing middlemen costs and improving incentives (for example, PBM reform and expanded use of Health Savings Accounts) instead of the EPTC expansion. These are policy preferences relayed by the representative in answer to a constituent’s question; the transcript records the concerns and speaker statements but does not provide independent program outcome data.
