Today, my Republican colleagues voted against preventing health care costs from spiking for tens of millions of Americans. There’s no mystery now about who is fighting to ensure health care is affordable for the American people. My full statement: www.shaheen.senate.gov/news/press/s...
Yesterday @markwarner.bsky.social and I came together to highlight the disastrous consequences of inaction on the ACA tax credits.   We heard from folks who are already feeling the pain of skyrocketing premiums.   This crisis is preventable if Republicans join us to extend the tax credits.
If you think you won't be impacted by the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, think again.   4 million newly uninsured Americans will impact the entire health care system, raising costs for everyone and making it harder for health care providers to treat you.
On the Senate floor today, Republicans will face a very simple choice: Will you vote to extend the ACA tax credits or will you allow millions of Americans to lose coverage? Americans are watching—and if this vote fails they'll know who allowed their health care costs to skyrocket.
"In the United States of America, access to affordable health care should not prevent anyone from starting a business, changing careers or being able to live the life of their choosing." The ACA tax credits disproportionately benefit our small businesses. Congress must act.
I was proud to lead the promotion ceremony for our excellent 2025 Defense Legislative Fellow. Congrats on your promotion, Justin! Thank you for being a stellar member of our team this past year and for your continued service to our nation - best of luck on your next mission.
There will be catastrophic consequences if Republicans don't join us to extend the ACA tax credits. This is not about achieving a political victory for one party or the other – it's about coming together to act in the best interest of the American people.
When workers have affordable health insurance, they get healthy and stay healthy which benefits their communities and our economy. 4 million Americans are expected to lose coverage if Republicans allow the ACA tax credits to expire and that shock will be felt by everyone.
A majority of Marketplace enrollees, regardless of partisanship, say that health insurance is “very important” to their financial wellbeing, their peace of mind, and their ability to access health care.

Most Marketplace Enrollees Say Health Insurance Is Very Important to Their Peace of Mind, Ability To Get Care, and Financial Well-Being.
Congress must extend the ACA tax credits that are a lifeline for millions of families. That’s exactly what the Democratic plan would do by providing the certainty of these tax credits for another 3 years. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us to advance this proposal.
If Democrats’ bill to extend the ACA tax credits becomes law, it will accomplish the most important thing we can do right now: Prevent skyrocketing health care costs for Americans.
Tens of millions of Americans are currently signing up for health insurance coverage through the ACA Marketplace. They're facing staggering premium increases because Republicans in Congress and in the White House refuse to extend the vital ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
The 13th Amendment ended the evil of slavery in America, and its anniversary reminds us that the work of equality is never finished. Today, we honor this milestone by recommitting ourselves to dignity, fairness and opportunity for all.
Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, the soaring cost of health care impacts everyone. Republicans need to join us to extend the ACA tax credits that help bring down premium costs before it's too late. The President’s own pollsters have underscored the political urgency.
Time is running out to prevent price hikes that will make health care unaffordable for millions of people. New polling shows that Americans will hold President Trump and Congressional Republicans accountable if they refuse to work with Democrats to find a path forward.
Our latest survey captures the views and experiences of Marketplace enrollees as they weigh their coverage options for 2026, without the enhanced ACA credits or other policy changes that the Senate could debate this month. See the findings: https://on.kff.org/4ptXoK8
Sensitive operational information is to be handled with utmost discretion. Secretary Hegseth knows well that any uniformed officer found to have committed the same reckless violations would face swift and severe punishment. There must not be a double-standard for the Secretary.
