An overwhelming 73% of voters are concerned about health care premiums skyrocketing if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, including 53% of Republicans and 66% of Independents. It’s in everybody’s interest to extend these vital tax credits before it’s too late.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 19(source)

Republicans need to join us to address the soon-expiring ACA enhanced premium tax credits so that tens of millions of people aren't priced out of the health insurance they rely on. It's critical that we work together in the Senate and the House to find a bipartisan solution.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 18(source)

The House has taken the long overdue step of passing a bill demanding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and now the Senate must do the same. The American people are demanding transparency – it’s high time this Administration answer them.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 18(source)

We knew from Day 1 that President Trump's tariffs on food items like coffee and fruit were a terrible idea. It shouldn’t have taken them 7 months to realize that all these did was raise grocery prices. Irreparable damage has been done to working families struggling with the cost of living.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 17(source)

24 million Americans are facing skyrocketing premiums if Republicans don't join us to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. I met with health care providers in New Hampshire to discuss how these tax credits allow Granite Staters to afford the health care they need.

The Senator described the shutdown, saying, “It was a fight about healthcare. It's not over, so we are going to continue to work to extend those premium tax credits to make healthcare affordable for p...

Quality education lays the foundation for our kids to succeed and reach their full potential. During this American Education Week, please join me in thanking public school teachers and staff who work every single day to provide Granite State children with the very best education.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 16(source)

President Trump, Speaker Johnson and Republicans in Congress have refused to address the cost of health care — but Democrats are united in the fight ahead to ensure premiums don’t skyrocket for the American people. It’s time to work together to extend the premium tax credits.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 16(source)

Face the Nation: Would you support it to see the release of these [Epstein files] documents? Sen. Shaheen: Absolutely...The American people need to see what's in them. If President Trump says there's nothing there...then why doesn't he support release of the documents?

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 14(source)

Families who rely on food assistance were feeling real pain during the government shutdown. I stopped by Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties to thank folks for their work to ensure mothers and children in our state were able to access WIC despite the uncertainty.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 14(source)

Democrats need to stay focused and get Republicans to the table. President Trump and Republicans should remember that 76% of the Americans who benefit from these tax credits live in states that he won last year.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 14(source)

As Democrats, we don't use human beings as political pawns. I'm proud that our deal ensures 42 million Americans can get food assistance and 2 million federal workers can get paid. We need to stay united and remember who the problem is: Donald Trump and the Republican majorities.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 12(source)

Now that the House is back, Speaker Johnson is learning the hard way that he can't hide from his problems forever. Americans are demanding transparency on Jeffrey Epstein and action to extend the ACA tax credits. It's time to do your job.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

POTUS, Speaker Johnson and Congressional Republicans remain the barrier to addressing health care costs. For the first time, we've secured a guaranteed vote on this crisis and if they continue to ignore the needs of the American people, they'll be held accountable next November.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

My Republican colleagues—including President Trump—have repeatedly told voters they'd address health care costs once the government was open. We've secured a vote and now it's time to hold them accountable.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

CNN: The head of the House Progressive Caucus called this a betrayal...Can you respond to that? Shaheen: That [ACA tax credits extension] was my first legislation this year, and I intend to continue to fight...They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

For years I’ve led the effort to put in place the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. No one in the Senate wants to extend these more than me. This deal is our best path to get that done.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

This agreement gives us the opportunity to fight to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that make health care more affordable for tens of millions of Americans.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

For over a month, I’ve made clear that my priorities are to both reopen government and extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. This is our best path toward accomplishing both of these goals.

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

I voted tonight to reopen the government and take action to protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Here’s why:

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 7(source)

At a time when costs on basic needs—from housing to child care—are all going up, extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits is one of the most immediate and effective ways to provide relief to families’ budgets. The American people are counting on us to get this done.
