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.
Let’s be clear what’s at stake: If Congress doesn’t extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, the American people will be left footing the bill for soaring health care costs at a time when too many are struggling to stay afloat.
Extending ACA enhanced premium tax credits is one of the most immediate and effective ways to address the cost-of-living crisis that is making it harder and harder for working families to make ends meet. We cannot allow 4 million people to lose their health care.
Setti Warren was a dedicated public servant, a true leader and a generous mentor though his work at the Harvard IOP.
We first met while working on John Kerry’s campaign for President and I'm grateful to have called him a friend and colleague in the years since. Billy and I extend our condolences.
My statement on the opening of the health insurance Marketplace and the urgent need to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that lower health care costs for millions of Americans:
With open enrollment beginning tomorrow, I went to Greater Seacoast Community Health to speak with Granite Staters who will be impacted by soaring health insurance premiums. I’m going to keep doing everything I can to prevent millions from losing their health coverage.
If Republicans don't work with us to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, Granite Staters are going to be forced to pay skyrocketing premiums or forgo coverage altogether. These are the kinds of price hikes that folks are seeing on the Marketplace ⬇
The President doesn't have the authority to unilaterally hike tariff taxes on Americans. I proudly joined my Senate colleagues to vote to repeal the so-called ‘national emergency’ that President Trump has used to justify tariffs that increase prices for families and businesses alike.
We can both reopen the government and extend ACA tax credits that help folks afford health care, but we need our Republican colleagues to join with us.
Congress needs to stop premiums from skyrocketing so that millions of Americans aren't priced out of their health care.
