Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, this is a bad joke on America. Here we are, the choice act: The choice is get sick or go broke. The choice is more coverage for average Americans or more tax cuts for the rich, higher costs for families. Twenty-four million people, at least, lose their coverage under the choice act, or TrumpCare. That is a bad joke. That is a bad choice. Here is something: discrimination against older Americans. They have five times the cost of younger Americans under TrumpCare, under their choice act. This hurts Medicare. There are no savings in this bill--that was what the whole thing was all about--but instead, we get less coverage for average Americans. We get many people cut off their coverage, but we get big tax cuts for the rich. This is a bad joke. This bill should be defeated. This rule should be defeated. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inquire of the gentleman from Texas, if I can. I know he has a few more speakers than he did yesterday, but we have a ton over here, and if there is additional time that he could share with us, we would appreciate it.”
