""We ought to be able to reopen the government and make sure we're not kicking four million people off of their health insurance," she said, adding that this "has real ramifications for the entire health care system.""
""No one from the administration.""
""big betrayal of the American people""
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen urged Republicans and Democrats to find bipartisan solutions to reopen the government without sacrificing consumer protections or access to care. President Trump signaled willingness to work with Democrats on health care, but conditioned talks on the government reopening, and no one from the administration had directly contacted Shaheen. Negotiations center on extending Affordable Care Act marketplace subsidies that expire at year-end; the CBO estimates up to four million people could become uninsured if credits are not renewed. Shaheen warned that insurers finalizing premiums and open enrollment timelines could leave millions without coverage and that recent tax and spending cuts threaten local medical facilities.
