Thank you. There is a lot of talk here on the floor about job killers. Actually this bill, the affordable health care bill, creates some 400,000 jobs. The repeal of it is actually a killer of human beings. Some 40,000 Americans die every year for lack of health insurance. That's the reality. Repeal this bill and you're going to find more Americans dying. Also, you're doing away, with this repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act, of the patients' bill of rights. I was the insurance commissioner in California. I know exactly what the insurance companies will do if this repeal goes forward. They will continue to rescind policies. They will continue to deny coverage. They will continue to make sure that those 23-year-old children that have graduated from college will no longer be able to be on their parents' policies. This repeal is perhaps the worst thing you can do to Americans in their health care. Besides that, you will significantly increase the deficit, by $230 billion.

My colleagues and I will not stand for it. Today, we are filing articles of impeachment to end Secretary McMahon's out-of-control assault on the public education system and the millions of students it serves.
The bottom line is my Democratic colleagues and I think about and fight every day to lower costs for all Americans, not just January 6th rioters or billionaires.
"I'm proud to have secured essential provisions in the BUILD America 250 Act that will improve the lives of my constituents as much as the roads they drive, the bridges they cross and the trains they ride."
Simply put, there is no way that a Golden Dome system that costs $185 billion could possibly live up to the promise of 'forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland.'
