    As sponsor of the Lower Health Care Costs Act (S.3385), which would extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits through 2028, Schumer's legislative record shows support for reducing the health-care costs borne by consumers — consistent with the topic's goal of lowering what Americans pay for medical care.
