I yield 2\1/4\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Jones), a member of the Committee on Ways and Means who understands that the Republican bill does not extend the life of the Medicare Trust Fund at all. In fact, it probably reduces it some.
Discussing the implications of a Republican bill on the Medicare Trust Fund.

I can count on maybe one hand the Democrats who support vouchers or similar proposals.
I strongly agree with that and yet, here we are where repealing the ACA without a replacement as the Republicans have already begun to do, would cost roughly $350 billion through 2027.
The legislation we are considering today is quite possibly the moral low-point of this House Republican Majority. Not only does it negate a law that was agreed to just last year to cut the deficit, it makes unconscionable cuts to safety…
The Republicans want to kill Social Security and Medicare and turn them into voucher systems.
