BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. SHAHEEN. Madam President, I call up my amendment No. 1602 and ask that it be reported by number.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. SHAHEEN. This bipartisan amendment supports extending vital healthcare tax credits for working families.

Twenty-two million Americans rely on premium tax credits to get the healthcare they need, but those tax credits are supposed to expire this year. Without our action, people will see the cost of their premiums increase by $3,000 next year, and millions will lose their healthcare.

I want to thank my colleague Senator Murkowski for her work on this issue.

I urge adoption of this amendment and ask for a voice vote only if everybody votes yes--just seeing if you are awake.
