“Mr. Chairman, when you take a look at what is happening here, the effort to repeal, to kill, to stop the Affordable Health Care Act is an assault on the American public, and it would give back to the insurance industry their opportunity to deny benefits, to deny coverage. It is hard to understand how in this period of time when we should be talking about building jobs that our colleagues would put before us legislation that would, in fact, destroy over 800,000 jobs and destroy the opportunity for millions upon millions of Americans to have health care that they could afford.

When you look across the broad impact of H.R. 1, it is an assault on the working men and women of the poor in this country. This is flat-out class warfare against the working men and women of this country. Plain and simple.”
