Congress Passes and President Signs Economic Stimulus
Individual Tax Rebates to Be Sent As Early as May
In February, Congress passed and the President signed the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. Under the legislation, approximately 2.5 million Marylanders will receive tax rebates of up to $600 per person ($1,200 per couple), plus $300 per child, as early as mid-May, 2008. By putting money into the hands of America's families and small businesses, the plan is expected to stimulate the economy and create 500,000 jobs.
The Census Bureau reported that nearly 45 million Americans, including more than 1 million Marylanders, were without any form of health insurance in 2003. In its Current Population Survey, during the same year, the Bureau reported the largest increase in the number of uninsured people in the past decade - an increase of 14.6 percent, or 2.4 million people, over 2002. Congressman Hoyer is fighting to make healthcare more affordable for all Americans, and is also fighting to protect funding for Medicaid, so that health care is accessible to more Americans.
