Mr. Speaker, we are seeing President Trump attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act, both breaking his own promises and making it worse for American families. He promised to protect Americans with preexisting conditions, but any State could allow insurers to raise premiums for Americans with preexisting conditions and make their insurance too expensive to afford. Any State could jeopardize access to mental health, emergency, maternal, and prescription drug coverage. And any State could charge older workers an age tax that would devastate middle class families. The proposals will steal $1 trillion from Medicare and Medicaid in exchange for giveaways to the very wealthy and corporations. The President and Republicans are turning their backs both on their own rhetoric and the real needs and lives of American families. ____________________
