ICYMI: On NPR’s Morning Edition, Shaheen Highlights Growing Republican Recognition of Importance of Extending ACA Tax Credits to Prevent Premiums from Doubling

During the interview, Shaheen cited a growing acknowledgment from Republicans that something must be done to address the looming expiration - highlighting that 76% of the people who get these tax credits to make health care more affordable live in states that President Trump won in November. The Senator also pushed back on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's claims that the administration will be forced to fire federal workers if the government stays shut.
