The polling is clear: The rising cost of health care matters to families, and Americans know that the President isn't doing anything to bring those costs down. The President and Congressional Republicans need to work with Democrats to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

We have known from day one that Secretary Hegseth lacks the skill, temperament and expertise to lead the Pentagon and the world's largest fighting force. This week again makes clear that he's just not up to the task.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 2(source)
Extending the ACA tax credits before the end of the year is urgent for communities like those in West Virginia, where the cost of health insurance is already unaffordable. Without a bipartisan solution, too many Americans will be priced out of health coverage completely. www.ft.com/content/beec...
‘A full-blown crisis’: Americans brace for a surge in healthcare costs
West Virginia is at the epicentre of a looming disaster over rising insurance premiums as affordability concerns soar
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 1(source)
Even the President said he wouldn’t have ‘wanted’ a second strike. Secretary Hegseth has undermined the rule of law at every turn, including by firing the military lawyers who are supposed to advise him on this action. He owes answers to the American people immediately.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 1(source)
I join my Democratic and Republican colleagues in calling for an investigation into this boat strike, which, if true, is clearly unlawful. It's stunning that the Administration has refused to brief all of Congress on the details of these strikes - this must be rectified at once.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

For Americans grappling with high prices, the LIHEAP program is a lifeline that means they won’t have to choose between keeping warm or putting food on the table. I'm glad to see funding I helped secure for home heating assistance is now on its way to Granite Staters.
Long-awaited $3.6B in heating assistance released to states and tribes
The federal government has released about $3.6 billion in delayed funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 25(source)
Giving back to the community is a fundamental part of the holiday spirit. I was grateful to serve meals at Harbor Care's annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner and see firsthand the important work being done on behalf of those impacted by homelessness or housing insecurity.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 25(source)
If President Trump and Congressional Republicans don't join Democrats to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits before the end of the year, tens of millions of Americans won't be able to afford health insurance - and that has ramifications for the entire health care system.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 24(source)
November is Native American Heritage Month. I encourage Granite Staters to join me in reflecting on the strength, culture and enduring contributions of Indigenous communities in New Hampshire and across the nation.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 21(source)
57,000 Granite Staters rely on LIHEAP funding to afford their home heating bills and stay warm through winter. I helped secure full funding through negotiations to reopen government and I'm calling on the Trump Administration to move quickly to ensure these funds go out on time.
Shaheen, Hassan call for federal government to release heating assistance funds
New Hampshire's U.S. senators say the federal government needs to move faster to release home heating assistance money.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 21(source)
Trump's inflationary tariffs are making life more expensive for working families and making it harder for Granite State businesses to get by. It's well past time for President Trump to abandon his failed trade war. www.keenesentinel.com/business_jou...
Is any local business benefiting from tariffs?
President Donald Trump continues to insist his administration’s tariff strategy will ultimately help American businesses, workers and consumers.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 20(source)
The President's comments are un-American and disgraceful. It is deeply disturbing for the President to use rhetoric like that to target Members of Congress — especially those who have served our country in uniform.
Trump claims remarks from Goodlander, others in video could be 'seditious,' 'punishable by death'
In a post on social media Thursday morning, President Donald Trump called Democratic members of Congress and the Senate who appeared in a controversial video "traitors" and accused them of "seditious ...

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.
