Open enrollment for https://t.co/3OYnbxdbo7 starts tomorrow, and some Granite Staters will see prices rise by more than $1,000/month. Today at White Mountain Community Health Center, I heard from health leaders about how this surge in premiums hurts families.

The Trump Administration could ensure that New Hampshire families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st with funds Congress already appropriated. They’re just choosing not to.

https://t.co/aFSGdC1UWT insurance prices for next year are now public, and families in New Hampshire are facing a massive surge in prices. They shouldn’t have to choose between health insurance and keeping a roof over their heads.

This is what New Hampshire families are seeing when they log into https://t.co/3OYnbxcDyz. We are running out of time to prevent these price hikes. We need a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and protect people’s health care.

If you buy your health insurance on https://t.co/3OYnbxdbo7, prices for next year are now available. Sadly, many Granite Staters will see prices that have more than doubled. There's still time for Congress to act to prevent these surges and save access to health care.

Small businesses are seeing huge spikes in health insurance premiums for owners and employees. I’m working across the aisle to reopen the government and lower health care costs so small businesses don’t have to choose between health coverage and keeping their doors open.

Seven years ago, 11 people were murdered in an antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. No one should ever feel unsafe at their house of worship. We must continue to stand up and denounce hate and bigotry wherever we see it.

Today I spoke with doctors and other health care providers at New London Hospital about the urgent need to prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for tens of thousands of Granite Staters. Families can't afford this.

This shutdown is in its fourth week. I remain focused on finding a bipartisan solution to reopen the government and prevent a health care calamity.

In the United States of America, we aren’t subjects to be ruled, we are citizens to be heard. Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for speaking out for 21 hours and counting about how we have a President who does not believe he should be held accountable by those he serves.

When health insurance premiums double, families lose their health care. It's that simple. We need to reopen the government and protect health care. Both issues are urgent. Both need bipartisan action now.

Illegally moving special education to the Department of Health and Human Services takes us back to a time when people with disabilities were treated as patients and second-class citizens - rather than individuals seeking equal opportunity for learning and independence.
Breaking news: The Education Department is looking to move a $15 billion program supporting students with disabilities out of the agency as it works to close the agency altogether, a department official said.

Life is already unaffordable for many Granite Staters. The doubling of health insurance premiums will only make things worse. We need to reopen the government, address this health care crisis, & get back to the important work of lowering costs for families.

Ensuring that every child gets a great public education is critical for future success – which is why the Administration’s cuts to special education supports are catastrophic. I was grateful to hear from NH families and leaders working to support students with disabilities today.

Granite State families are already dealing with rising costs everywhere they turn. The last thing they need is for their health insurance premiums to double. We need Republicans to work with us to reopen the government and protect affordable health care.
