“If this amendment would become part of the CR, there will be no CR, and that will be your responsibility, your responsibility. This is an effort to repeal by paralysis, paralyzing the provisions that have gone into effect--preexisting conditions for children being covered, children under 26 having the ability to get insurance. It would paralyze the efforts to begin to implement the 2014 benefits. Instead of searching for common ground, this amendment intensifies warfare. Instead of collaboration, this amendment would mean chaos. The Republicans have become a wrecking crew, led by Paul Ryan and wrecking Medicare. This amendment is a deeply dangerous prescription for Americans' health. This prescription needs to be rejected.”
