I voted for the continuing resolution that would accomplish both of those goals. Neither bill passed and it\u2019s now critical for both sides to come together to find a path forward on both fronts.\n\n\u201cIt is vital that we extend the ACA premium tax credits that I have championed for years. A report released today indicates that the 24 million Americans who rely on these tax credits \u2013 many of whom are small business owners and employees, older Americans and people living in rural communities \u2013 would see their health care premiums more than double if the credits expire. Failure is unacceptable, especially at a time when so many Americans are struggling with high costs. Delay is not an option as more and more Americans receive notices of skyrocketing premiums for next year. I have been in intensive conversations with colleagues from both sides of the aisle on how to find a path forward and I\u2019m eager to work with my Republican colleagues to find common ground. The American people are counting on us to get this done.\n\n\u201cWe must work quickly across the aisle to fund the government and we need to return to Congress\u2019s bipartisan process of delivering spending packages that provide long-term certainty to our communities and federal agencies.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.shaheen.senate.gov/news/press/shaheen-statement-on-vote-against-house-republicans-continuing-resolution-vote-for-senate-democrats-bill-to-fund-government-and-protect-health-care"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7383846677839756, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
