Further delay in passing the HEROES Act or coming up with some kind of a consensus bill will cost us countless lives, lasting damage to our economy, and immeasurable financial hardship to millions of American families.

the fight, obviously, that we have all been doing for healthcare and other things needs to go on because there are many people that want to kill it, and we know that that would be a tragedy.

There's never a good time to be without health insurance, and it's especially dangerous during a pandemic.

Unfortunately, the Trump Administration is not interested in working with Congress to address this crisis.

The American Medical Association wrote in a Friend of the Court Briefing that striking down the Affordable Care Act... would be a self-inflicted wound that could take decades to heal.

My Republican colleagues have no plan to cover the preexisting conditions or to protect the American people.

20 million Americans would lose their healthcare coverage; protections for the more than 133 million people with pre-existing conditions would be eliminated.

Let me be clear--further delay in passing the Heroes Act will cost us countless lives, lasting damage to our economy, and immeasurable financial hardship to millions of American families.

If the Trump administration succeeds and they do strike down the ACA, we would have 20 million Americans who would lose their healthcare coverage.

it is indefensible that the Trump administration has refused to establish a broad open enrollment period

The President continues to support this Republican lawsuit that is now before the Supreme Court to strike down the entire Affordable Care Act in the middle of this pandemic.

But unfortunately, Senator McConnell and the Trump administration either do not understand the need for the Federal Government to take bold action, or worse, they prefer to willfully ignore and downplay the seriousness of the challenge…

The title of today's hearing calls the Affordable Care Act a 'lifeline.'

I ask my Republican colleagues to avoid these self-inflicted wounds.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented health and economic crisis.

Unfortunately, Senator McConnell and the Trump Administration either do not understand the need for the Federal Government to take bold action.

If successful, and they may be, 21 million Americans will lose health coverage immediately.

President Trump has not put forth a plan at all, although he has promised it for four years every two weeks.
