Senator Sen. Jeanne Shaheen on Bloomberg TV optimistic on deal on extend ACA subsidies and reopen government. “We’re not really that far apart”. Says in everyone interest to push quickly to a deal

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.

New KFF poll on whether U.S. adults support or oppose extending the Obamacare subsidies scheduled to expire at the end of 2025 Overall: 78% say extend, 22% say expire

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.

Extending ACA enhanced premium tax credits shouldn't be a partisan issue. Even 57% of MAGA Republicans say they want to see these tax credits extended. That's because the cost of health care coverage impacts everyone.

.President Donald J. Trump 76% of these tax credits go to states you won and 57% of MAGA Republicans want them extended. Let’s negotiate in good faith on a path forward. We stand ready to talk.

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.

Sen. Shaheen on GOP leaders considering offering a future vote on ACA subsidies: “I think it’s positive that that their leaders are recognizing that we need to vote, but I think we need reassurances what that means actually.”

Shaheen, top SFRC Dem + key govt funding vote: "President Trump seems to think it’s more important to offer $20 billion to bail out Argentina than it is to make a bipartisan deal to prevent health insurance premiums from spiking for over 20 million Americans in a matter of days."

"We're all afraid ... My rates could go up 75 to 100—maybe 114— percent, which I can't afford." If Republicans don't extend the ACA tax credits, millions like Robyn could lose their health care coverage.⬇️

Trump is willing to spend $20 billion on his friends in Argentina—but let 20 million Americans see their insurance costs nearly double. This fight is about protecting health care for millions of hard-working Americans whose lives literally depend on it. Via Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

On WMUR TV: "Now, [Shaheen] is working behind the scenes with her GOP colleagues to try to reach a deal that could end the current government shutdown, pointing out that ACA subsidies Democrats are fighting for largely benefit states that voted for President Donald Trump."

"To see that tax credit go away could mean life or death for many—could mean life or death for me." If Republicans don't extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, health care will be priced out of reach for millions of Americans like Amanda.⬇️

Shaheen: This was the only deal on the table. It was our best chance to reopen the government and immediately begin negotiations to extend the ACA tax credits that tens of millions of Americans rely on to keep costs down.

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.
