Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 8, 2026
I rise today because the House has a critical opportunity to support families and small businesses who are struggling to afford healthcare for 2026. I am thinking of the parents I have talked to who will drop coverage for their families because their premiums are doubling and tripling, the nonprofits who won't be able to cover employees anymore, the manufacturer that is now paying more for health insurance than most of their raw materials. The impacts of this healthcare debate are real and they are immediate. This week Congress can solve the problem and actually make people's lives better. Everywhere I go across New Hampshire, I hear the same thing: Money is tight, and people are worried about their futures. The millions of families who rely on the Affordable Care Act tax credits for health insurance have waited long enough for Congress to do the right thing. I urge all my colleagues to support this legislation to ensure that hardworking Americans can maintain their coverage and have the health and financial security that they deserve.
