A Statement by Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM, President and CEO

The Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA) President and CEO Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM, issued the following statement about the Administration's health plan.

"We welcome the Administration's engagement in the vital work of expanding access to quality, affordable health care. Ensuring that individuals and families can obtain the care they need is central to the mission of Catholic health care.

An urgent step Congress and the Administration can take now is to advance a bipartisan solution to restore the enhanced premium tax credits that millions of working Americans depend on. Renewing them would immediately ease financial pressures on households while helping ensure people maintain their health coverage.

We will continue to work with the Administration and with Congress to strengthen health care access for communities across the country."
