Reserving the right to object, this is the latest Democratic attempt to raise the cost of healthcare paid for out of your own pocket by taking away an ability to provide lower cost health insurance that preserves preexisting condition protection and the essential health benefits. These short-term health benefits were available under President Clinton. They were available under President Bush. They were available under President Obama right until the last few months of his office, when he cut them down to 3 months long. President Trump has simply said that you may now have them up to a year and renew them for 3 years. If you live in Fulton County, GA, your insurance costs will be 30 percent less against the typical ObamaCare bronze plan and even more against the silver plan. This is the latest Democratic attempt to increase the cost of what you pay for healthcare out of your own pocket. Their next attempt will be Medicare for All, which, if you have health insurance on the job, will take that health insurance away. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Wisconsin.
