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.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and my thoughts are with all the survivors who have battled this disease, the families who have lost loved ones to breast cancer and those who are courageously leading the fight to find a cure and help more Americans access life-saving care.

I'm calling on the Trump Administration to immediately restore funding for a Granite State project aimed at making energy more affordable and reliable. With electricity costs on the rise, the administration shouldn't be trying to cancel projects that help bring down costs.

🚨The ACA Marketplace is open for window shopping, and as we feared, premiums skyrocketed. A couple in Dover, NH in their early 60s making $85,000 would be ineligible for ACA tax credits, raising their yearly premiums by an estimated 190% from just over $7,000 to almost $21,000.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing hunger as a political bargaining chip. When it comes down to it, this is a choice and they're choosing to not feed kids, seniors, veterans and working families instead of doing everything possible to get food assistance to those in need.

With only 3 days until open enrollment begins for health insurance through the ACA, American families are counting on Congress to come together and prevent premium hikes that will kick millions off of their health care coverage. Republicans should join with us to get this done.

President Trump's tariffs on Brazil are an unlawful attempt to interfere with another nation’s judiciary system and are raising prices for Americans. I joined a bipartisan group of my colleagues tonight to challenge these reckless tariffs against Brazil.

From cancer survivors to folks battling substance use, Granite Staters have told me that access to health care through the ACA saves lives. Time is running out for Congress to extend the enhanced premium tax credits that help families afford the health insurance they rely on.

Today is National First Responders Day, and I hope you will join me in thanking the firefighters, medical professionals, law enforcement officials and other emergency personnel who tirelessly work to keep Granite State communities safe.

Today we remember the 11 lives taken during the tragic and hateful shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue. Today, and every day, we must stand with the Jewish Community and stand up to antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

In just a week, open enrollment for health care on the Marketplace begins. Time is running out to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits that help more Americans afford health insurance. If Congress doesn't act, tens of millions of Americans will face surging premiums.

We're facing a historic rise in premiums on the ACA Marketplace because Republicans in Congress refuse to work with Democrats to extend enhanced premium tax credits that make health insurance more affordable. The stakes are simply too high. We must get this done.

Senator Thune has said that he's not going to move on the Graham-Blumenthal bill until he gets a cue from the White House.   What Vladimir Putin has been doing for months now is playing President Trump.   It's time we take action and not wait for the White House.

With inflation at the highest levels since President Trump took office, we should be doing all we can to lower the cost of living. Instead, President Trump and Republicans in Congress are poised to let health care premiums double for tens of millions of Americans.

Even one overdose death due to the substance use disorder epidemic is one too many. During Red Ribbon Week, it's important to recognize the people who work, day in and day out, to combat this crisis through prevention efforts and by promoting a drug-free lifestyle.

When I talk to Granite Staters from every corner of New Hampshire, they tell me that their basic necessities are too expensive. If Republicans in Congress fail to extend the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits, this crisis is only going to get worse.

Let me get this straight: POTUS is spending $20 billion to bail out his friends in Argentina, but is willing to let 20 million Americans’ premiums double? Let’s get serious and put the American people’s best interests first.

Grateful to have friends like @merkley.senate.gov with us in the fight to push back on Trump's self-enriching and inflationary policies. He's held the Senate floor all night long and he's still going. Tune in ⬇️

With just under 2 weeks until open enrollment begins for health care coverage, the need to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits is urgent.   I spoke to an expert in New Hampshire who explained what will happen if Congress fails to extend these tax credits before November 1. ⬇️

Wishing happiness, prosperity and joy to all those in New Hampshire and around the world celebrating the festival of lights. Happy Diwali!

We’re in the midst of a cost of living crisis, and President Trump's tariffs are making products that families rely on even more expensive. The President said he was going to lower prices for Americans, but all we've seen are higher and higher costs from his reckless trade war.

I met with some health care advocates, providers and Granite Staters who use the ACA Marketplace for health insurance. They told me it will be devastating for New Hampshire if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. They're counting on us to take action before it's too late.

I hope that the President is going to provide those long-range weapons that President Zelensky is requesting. But the Senate also needs to act.

Republican Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread is right to sound the alarm: Congress only has a matter of days to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits by November 1 before health care costs are permanently set higher. We must work across the aisle to get this done before then.

Millions of moms just like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are worried about how their families are going to afford health care if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. We can take action now to extend these credits. Let's work together to get this done and prevent costs from soaring.

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.
