Thank you, Mr. Miller. I rise today in opposition to a regressive and unfair piece of legislation, H.R. 2. We must protect the American people from the Republican NoCare agenda. Their agenda for America is simple: NoCare if you lose your job. NoCare if you or your child has a preexisting condition. NoCare if you are a senior in the doughnut hole. NoCare if you're under 26 and on your parents' plan. NoCare if you get sick and your insurer drops your coverage. NoCare if your insurer hikes your premiums higher than you can afford. NoCare for Indian health care services reauthorization. NoCare for community health centers. NoCare for closing the disparity gap in America's health care delivery system. I urge my colleagues to vote against this repeal that would take away the progress that we are making to protect our constituents. I urge my colleagues to stop protecting insurance companies and, finally, finally, take a step toward empowering the American people.
