Congress can't wait until December to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
Insurance companies are setting rates now for the November 1st open enrollment period.
If we don't act, premiums will be unaffordable and millions more will be kicked off their health insurance.

Serious factual and legal questions remain unanswered about this administration's continued use of military force. It's alarming and unconscionable to continue lethal strikes without providing sound legal justification to Congress and the public.
An overwhelming majority of Americans—Republicans, Democrats and Independents—support extending the ACA tax credits because working Americans can’t afford to see their premiums double.
We need to find a bipartisan path forward to prevent millions from losing health care.
New KFF polling finds most Americans say they want Congress to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits that help make Marketplace coverage more affordable. https://on.kff.org/4q7ElGy
It's in the White House's interest to extend the enhanced premium tax credits that so many rely on for affordable health care.
Over 70% of people who get these tax credits are in states that President Trump won. 56% of them are in Republican districts. Let's get this done.
Rising electricity costs are already hurting the American people, and now the administration is trying to cancel projects that advance American energy leadership and create good-paying jobs.
Granite Staters are going to face higher energy costs as a result.

The White House's talking point is a provision Ronald Reagan signed into law.
We're focused on solving the real problem: Keeping tens of millions of Americans from facing a huge health care price spike in the next few weeks.
We don't have time for this red herring.
When I talk to my Republican colleagues, they understand that neither a government shutdown nor kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance is in the best interest of this country.
It's time to work together, find a compromise and get this done.
Wishing a meaningful and easy fast to our Jewish families in New Hampshire and all those observing Yom Kippur.
Tens of millions of people are counting on Congress to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits before they expire.
I was able to hear from a few experts and Americans who know just how urgent this is.
We need to come to an agreement to extend these credits as soon as possible.
Working Americans are already facing sky high costs on everything from groceries to energy to rent.
We must find a bipartisan path forward and extend the ACA tax credits, which have been a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans.
How much more would the average ACA Marketplace enrollee pay in out-of-pocket premiums in 2026 without the enhanced premium tax credits?
114% on average, or *more than double* what they pay now.
Our new analysis explains why: https://on.kff.org/3WfWxjj
I have been clear that my priorities are to fund the government and keep health care within reach for tens of millions of Americans.
Neither CR passed tonight and it’s now critical for both sides to come together to find a path forward.
Full statement:
In New Hampshire, we've seen firsthand that federal prison workers are in dire need of more, not less, support. The administration's termination of their collective bargaining rights is unacceptable and jeopardizes the safety of both staff and those in the facilities.

Secretary Hegseth is jeopardizing our readiness to fuel a vanity project that does nothing to make our military stronger or more lethal. Taking senior officers out of the field where they're needed to hear a speech by the Secretary is a waste of their time and our tax dollars.
Marguerite’s Place in Nashua is a lifeline for women and children. I was glad to support Congressionally Directed Spending to help the facility expand its transitional housing offerings, and I’m going to keep advocating in Washington to get this funding over the finish line.
Trump’s tariffs aren’t just raising prices, they’re also hurting New England’s tourism economy.
Businesses from the North Country to the Seacoast rely on Canadian visitors to make ends meet. President Trump needs to abandon his senseless tariffs and deliver needed relief.
It was great to join CNBC’s Squawk Box this morning to underscore the need to extend ACA premium tax credits. We have a solution, but Republicans need to come to the negotiating table before it's too late.
I was pleased to welcome Secretary Collins to the Manchester VA Medical Center to see the important work being done to serve veterans across New Hampshire. We have an urgent need to upgrade the facility to a full-service VA hospital so that more veterans can access health care.
I was glad to join Elliot Hospital's nursing workforce program celebration in Manchester. We need robust training initiatives like this to tackle the Granite State's shortage of medical professionals and to expand access to health care in our communities.
If Congress doesn't extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, 20 million Americans will see a dramatic rise in premium costs, and another 4 million people will lose their coverage completely. My Republican colleagues need to come to the table so that we can prevent this disaster.
Happy National Lobster Day, New Hampshire!
Lobstering is a staple of our coastal economy and tourism industry. Today, we celebrate not only lobsters, but also the men and women who help bring them to our plates. 🦞
