Bill Hemmer: Why play stick 'em up now?   Sen. Shaheen: The reason we need to address it [ACA tax credits] now is because insurance companies are setting their rates now.   Hemmer: But you’ve got 3 months to negotiate.   Shaheen: No no, no...They're getting their rate increases now.
Jeff is a cancer survivor whose clean bill of health wouldn't have been possible without affordable health care through the ACA. If these tax credits expire, his premium will skyrocket. Jeff’s health care isn’t negotiable. Congress needs to extend these tax credits now.
With less than one month until open enrollment, time is of the essence. Congress must act now to extend the expiring health insurance tax credits, or else everyday Americans will be forced to foot the bill for skyrocketing health care costs.
If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute. These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.
If ACA premium tax cuts are allowed to expire, Granite Staters like Michelle will be priced out of health care coverage. Health care isn't optional. We need to extend these tax credits for the tens of millions of Americans who rely on them to afford health insurance.
If the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, health care costs will skyrocket: 📈A single person in their 40s earning $31K annually in NH could see their annual premiums increase $1,344. 📈A couple in their 60s earning $90K annually could see their premiums increase $14,712.
There is real urgency to addressing the cost of health insurance and extending the ACA tax credits to prevent millions from losing their coverage. Insurance companies are setting their rates NOW, and the marketplace opens on November 1. We can't afford to wait.
76% of people who benefit from the ACA tax credits live in states that President Trump won in November. I'm ready to work with my Republican colleagues and the White House to find a path forward and prevent health care costs from doubling for tens of millions of Americans.
It’s in everyone’s best interest to act now to extend the vital enhanced premium tax credits.  Premiums are going out this month, and millions of Americans will be paying double what they pay now.  Let's work together, reopen the government and prevent suffocating price hikes.
27% of our farmers, ranchers and agricultural managers rely on the ACA for affordable health care. They're already facing higher costs due to the President’s reckless trade wars. Allowing the enhanced premium tax credits to expire would raise their health care costs, too.
Kicking the can on the expiring ACA tax credits leaves more Americans uninsured and costs patients more of their hard-earned money compared to if we acted today. Over half of people who get these credits live in Republican districts. Let's come together and get this done.
Extending ACA enhanced premium tax credits shouldn't be a partisan issue.   Even 57% of "MAGA" voters say they want to see these tax credits extended.   That's because the cost of health care coverage impacts everyone.
Congress can't wait until December to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits.   Insurance companies are setting rates now for the November 1st open enrollment period.   If we don't act, premiums will be unaffordable and millions more will be kicked off their health insurance.
Serious factual and legal questions remain unanswered about this administration's continued use of military force. It's alarming and unconscionable to continue lethal strikes without providing sound legal justification to Congress and the public.
An overwhelming majority of Americans—Republicans, Democrats and Independents—support extending the ACA tax credits because working Americans can’t afford to see their premiums double. We need to find a bipartisan path forward to prevent millions from losing health care.
New KFF polling finds most Americans say they want Congress to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits that help make Marketplace coverage more affordable. https://on.kff.org/4q7ElGy
KFF graph showing that more than 3 in 4 adults (78%) support extending the enhanced premium tax credits for Affordable Care Act Marketplace coverage, based on a KFF Health Tracking Poll from September 23-29, 2025.
It's in the White House's interest to extend the enhanced premium tax credits that so many rely on for affordable health care.   Over 70% of people who get these tax credits are in states that President Trump won. 56% of them are in Republican districts. Let's get this done.
Rising electricity costs are already hurting the American people, and now the administration is trying to cancel projects that advance American energy leadership and create good-paying jobs. Granite Staters are going to face higher energy costs as a result. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
The White House's talking point is a provision Ronald Reagan signed into law. We're focused on solving the real problem: Keeping tens of millions of Americans from facing a huge health care price spike in the next few weeks. We don't have time for this red herring.
