the idea that they would zero out this particular part in the budget is just entirely unacceptable

Thank you for inviting me to share a few words on behalf of my fellow Coloradan, Dr. Walter Copan.

I appreciate the fact that we are now relying on a CBO score which should have come months ago or weeks ago.

I cannot believe the hypocrisy of people supporting this bill and saying that they are fighting against insurance companies when what they are doing is stripping hard-earned consumer protections from the American people. It is a disgrace.

you will own that chaos, because if you do not do what the consensus was with the CSR and with creating some flexibility and having the mandate or some other idea to have the mandate, you will get instability like you have not seen before.

I do not understand the obsession with winding down and ultimately getting rid of Medicaid expansion.

For the last 7 years, the Republican Party has made repealing the Affordable Care Act their defining issue.

I am not sure it is going to be great for the American people.

millions of people will lose their insurance if we pass this bill.

this is a transfer from Democratic States to Republican States.

it tends to be that way.
