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. www.wmur.com/article/fede...
Federal Bureau of Prisons moves to end union protections for its workers
The federal Bureau of Prisons is canceling a collective bargaining agreement with its workers and stripping them of union rights.

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.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos.”

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.
Turned off by Trump rhetoric, Canadians cancel trips. New England pays the price
New Hampshire hospitality businesses this summer reported a sharp decline in visitors from the North — Canadian travel to NH is down about 30% this year, according to state officials.

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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 25(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 25(source)
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. 🦞
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 24(source)
If Congress doesn't act, millions of Americans will be facing the biggest health insurance premium increase in about 15 years.   There's a real urgency to extending ACA enhanced premium tax credits. I joined NPR's Here & Now to talk about how important it is to get this done. ⬇️
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 24(source)
If ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, more than half of the Americans who will struggle to afford health coverage are small business owners and their employees. I met with some of those businesses in New Hampshire, and they're counting on Congress to get this done.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 24(source)
I'm visiting businesses across New Hampshire to highlight how tariffs are making the affordability crisis worse. Today, I went to Woodstock Soapstone Company in West Lebanon, where they're facing higher production costs thanks to President Trump's trade war.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 24(source)
President Trump's tariffs are doing real damage to our economy. No one knows that better than America's small businesses. At a time when people are already facing rising costs, Main Street is getting hit by high tariffs - endangering businesses, workers and local economies.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 23(source)
Trump's Big Beautiful Betrayal will kick millions of Americans off Medicaid, and failed to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits. These tax credits expire at the end of the year unless Congress acts now to help families afford health care coverage. spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte...
Democrats warn health care costs for millions will increase if tax credits lapse
About a dozen House Republicans have also signed onto a bipartisan bill in the lower chamber seeking to extend the credits for a year.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 22(source)
I don't think anybody wants America to follow in the footsteps of China and Russia. When the President uses the levers of government to threaten people who are criticizing them or who they disagree with, that is violating the Constitution.
