If Republicans don't work with us to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, Granite Staters are going to be forced to pay skyrocketing premiums or forgo coverage altogether. These are the kinds of price hikes that folks are seeing on the Marketplace ⬇
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 30(source)
The President doesn't have the authority to unilaterally hike tariff taxes on Americans. I proudly joined my Senate colleagues to vote to repeal the so-called ‘national emergency’ that President Trump has used to justify tariffs that increase prices for families and businesses alike.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 30(source)
We can both reopen the government and extend ACA tax credits that help folks afford health care, but we need our Republican colleagues to join with us. Congress needs to stop premiums from skyrocketing so that millions of Americans aren't priced out of their health care.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and my thoughts are with all the survivors who have battled this disease, the families who have lost loved ones to breast cancer and those who are courageously leading the fight to find a cure and help more Americans access life-saving care.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 29(source)
I'm calling on the Trump Administration to immediately restore funding for a Granite State project aimed at making energy more affordable and reliable. With electricity costs on the rise, the administration shouldn't be trying to cancel projects that help bring down costs.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 29(source)
🚨The ACA Marketplace is open for window shopping, and as we feared, premiums skyrocketed. A couple in Dover, NH in their early 60s making $85,000 would be ineligible for ACA tax credits, raising their yearly premiums by an estimated 190% from just over $7,000 to almost $21,000.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 29(source)
The Trump Administration is weaponizing hunger as a political bargaining chip. When it comes down to it, this is a choice and they're choosing to not feed kids, seniors, veterans and working families instead of doing everything possible to get food assistance to those in need.
Food aid for 42 million imperiled by shutdown politics, as Trump tests law
Nearly 42 million people are set to lose food aid due to the second-longest U.S. government shutdown, as Democrats and Republicans in Congress continue to blame each other for a weeks-long legislative stalemate.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 29(source)
With only 3 days until open enrollment begins for health insurance through the ACA, American families are counting on Congress to come together and prevent premium hikes that will kick millions off of their health care coverage. Republicans should join with us to get this done.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 28(source)
President Trump's tariffs on Brazil are an unlawful attempt to interfere with another nation’s judiciary system and are raising prices for Americans. I joined a bipartisan group of my colleagues tonight to challenge these reckless tariffs against Brazil.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 28(source)
From cancer survivors to folks battling substance use, Granite Staters have told me that access to health care through the ACA saves lives. Time is running out for Congress to extend the enhanced premium tax credits that help families afford the health insurance they rely on.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 28(source)
Today is National First Responders Day, and I hope you will join me in thanking the firefighters, medical professionals, law enforcement officials and other emergency personnel who tirelessly work to keep Granite State communities safe.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 27(source)
Today we remember the 11 lives taken during the tragic and hateful shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue. Today, and every day, we must stand with the Jewish Community and stand up to antisemitism and hate in all its forms.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 25(source)
In just a week, open enrollment for health care on the Marketplace begins. Time is running out to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits that help more Americans afford health insurance. If Congress doesn't act, tens of millions of Americans will face surging premiums.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 24(source)
We're facing a historic rise in premiums on the ACA Marketplace because Republicans in Congress refuse to work with Democrats to extend enhanced premium tax credits that make health insurance more affordable. The stakes are simply too high. We must get this done.
Average Obamacare premiums are set to rise 30 percent, documents show
The price increases — affecting up to 17 million Americans who buy coverage on the federal marketplace — are by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 24(source)
Senator Thune has said that he's not going to move on the Graham-Blumenthal bill until he gets a cue from the White House.   What Vladimir Putin has been doing for months now is playing President Trump.   It's time we take action and not wait for the White House.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 24(source)
With inflation at the highest levels since President Trump took office, we should be doing all we can to lower the cost of living. Instead, President Trump and Republicans in Congress are poised to let health care premiums double for tens of millions of Americans.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 23(source)
Even one overdose death due to the substance use disorder epidemic is one too many. During Red Ribbon Week, it's important to recognize the people who work, day in and day out, to combat this crisis through prevention efforts and by promoting a drug-free lifestyle.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 22(source)
When I talk to Granite Staters from every corner of New Hampshire, they tell me that their basic necessities are too expensive. If Republicans in Congress fail to extend the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits, this crisis is only going to get worse.

Ten years ago, a typical NH family could cover the basics and still save. Today, they’re falling behind with $17,349 less each year after paying for just a few essentials. A new NHFPI report breaks down how affordability has been eroded across the state: buff.ly/BlXRu2b #NewHampshire #NHPolitics

Let me get this straight: POTUS is spending $20 billion to bail out his friends in Argentina, but is willing to let 20 million Americans’ premiums double? Let’s get serious and put the American people’s best interests first.
