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.

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I voted tonight to reopen the government and take action to protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Here’s why:
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.
Health care isn’t negotiable.
We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
Despite overwhelmingly positive feedback, the Trump Administration is axing a tool that allowed Americans to file their taxes for free. It's disappointing to see the administration prioritize private interests over helping Americans save time and money filing their taxes.
Millions of Americans—like my constituent Siena—are already facing a cost of living crisis. They can't afford to have their health insurance premiums increase 300% like Siena’s did, on top of soaring prices for basic necessities.
Congress must act to extend the ACA tax credits.
The health insurance Marketplace is open. Americans, who are already facing a cost of living crisis, are seeing drastically higher, unaffordable premiums. With millions of people counting on us, it’s time to extend these tax credits.
