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

Asia for a week last weekend.

He could have been here meeting with the leadership of Congress, helping to solve this issue.

And he was down in Mar-a-Lago playing golf, doing whatever he does in Mar-a-Lago.

So he has not shown any kind of leadership and there has been no willingness on the part of the

leadership in Congress to sit down, to meet, to solve this.

That's, as you pointed out, that's what this government is founded on.

It's founded on compromise, on people working together.

And the idea that you shouldn't talk to members of the other party and solve problems is totally antithetical to what this government is about.

Well, I think the people of New Hampshire want to see us get this done.

They generally share my view that we ought to be able to keep the government open and address issues

the costs that people are facing because of the rising costs of healthcare.

We'd need to take action on that.

That's what, as I said, that's what this fight is about because those tax credits that millions of Americans rely on are gonna expire at the end of December.

But more importantly, November 1st is when the marketplace for the Affordable Care Act

opens up.

And so people are now getting their bills because insurance companies have had to set rates based on the assumption that we are not going to extend those tax credits.

And so what we're seeing with people across the country is those bills

doubling for people and the people who are getting hit the hardest are older Americans, people who live in rural areas, small business owners, about half of the people who are affected are either small business owners or their employees.

So this is going to have a huge impact, not just on those

people who benefit from those premium tax credits, but on the entire healthcare system, because the expectation is that people who are healthier and younger will drop out because they're not gonna be able to afford their health insurance.
