The MeidasTouch Podcast · Senator Jeanne Shaheen Discusses Trump’s Disastrous Shutdown · 25 Oct 2025 podcast

And the fight is about ensuring that we are not going to see 20 million Americans who are going to have their health insurance premiums

become unaffordable and kick 4 million people off of their health insurance because of those rising costs.

And they keep claiming that we knew about this and why did we let this happen?

Well, we tried to extend the end date for those tax credits four times this year, and the Republicans refused to let us do that.

This has been coming.

Our Republican colleagues know it's been coming, and they refuse to acknowledge that it's going to have a huge impact on people's ability to afford health insurance, and that's going to have implications for the entire healthcare system.

Well, Speaker Johnson seems to be more concerned about his own future than he is about solving problems that this country faces.

The fact is we are in this situation because people have refused to talk to each other.

The reason there was no government shutdown during the four years of the Biden administration is because we understood that

This is not just about who's in the majority and who's in the minority, certainly not in the United States Senate.

It's about ensuring that we address the minority concerns as part of what we do.

And they knew they needed 60 votes coming out of the Senate, and they have been unwilling to sit down and talk to us to negotiate.

You know, I was governor of New Hampshire for three terms.

And when we had serious issues, I went and met with the Speaker of the House.

I had a Republican legislature.

I met with the Senate president.

And we talked about how we could work together to solve the issues that were facing the state of New Hampshire.

And that's what we need to do now.

We need to see President Trump, who's only met once with the leadership of Congress before the shutdown began.
