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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 6(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 4(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 3(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 3(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 3(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 3(source)
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...
US energy department cancels $7.6 billion in funding meant for projects
The U.S. Department of Energy on Wednesday said it planned to cancel $7.56 billion in financing for hundreds of energy projects that it said would not provide sufficient returns to taxpayers.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 2(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 1(source)
When I talk to my Republican colleagues, they understand that neither a government shutdown nor kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance is in the best interest of this country.   It's time to work together, find a compromise and get this done.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 1(source)
Tens of millions of people are counting on Congress to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits before they expire.   I was able to hear from a few experts and Americans who know just how urgent this is.   We need to come to an agreement to extend these credits as soon as possible.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govOct 1(source)
Working Americans are already facing sky high costs on everything from groceries to energy to rent. We must find a bipartisan path forward and extend the ACA tax credits, which have been a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans.

How much more would the average ACA Marketplace enrollee pay in out-of-pocket premiums in 2026 without the enhanced premium tax credits? 114% on average, or *more than double* what they pay now. Our new analysis explains why: https://on.kff.org/3WfWxjj

I have been clear that my priorities are to fund the government and keep health care within reach for tens of millions of Americans. Neither CR passed tonight and it’s now critical for both sides to come together to find a path forward. Full statement:

In New Hampshire, we've seen firsthand that federal prison workers are in dire need of more, not less, support. The administration's termination of their collective bargaining rights is unacceptable and jeopardizes the safety of both staff and those in the facilities. www.wmur.com/article/fede...
Federal Bureau of Prisons moves to end union protections for its workers
The federal Bureau of Prisons is canceling a collective bargaining agreement with its workers and stripping them of union rights.

Secretary Hegseth is jeopardizing our readiness to fuel a vanity project that does nothing to make our military stronger or more lethal. Taking senior officers out of the field where they're needed to hear a speech by the Secretary is a waste of their time and our tax dollars.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos.”

Marguerite’s Place in Nashua is a lifeline for women and children. I was glad to support Congressionally Directed Spending to help the facility expand its transitional housing offerings, and I’m going to keep advocating in Washington to get this funding over the finish line.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 26(source)
Trump’s tariffs aren’t just raising prices, they’re also hurting New England’s tourism economy. Businesses from the North Country to the Seacoast rely on Canadian visitors to make ends meet. President Trump needs to abandon his senseless tariffs and deliver needed relief.
Turned off by Trump rhetoric, Canadians cancel trips. New England pays the price
New Hampshire hospitality businesses this summer reported a sharp decline in visitors from the North — Canadian travel to NH is down about 30% this year, according to state officials.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 25(source)
It was great to join CNBC’s Squawk Box this morning to underscore the need to extend ACA premium tax credits. We have a solution, but Republicans need to come to the negotiating table before it's too late.
