On the recordNovember 18, 2021
I proudly rise to support the largest investment in America's working families, a human safety net, and the protection of the planet since FDR's New Deal. To families facing high healthcare or childcare costs or struggling to find affordable pre-K programs, the Build Back Better Act has your back. We deliver real help and support, including paid family leave and a child tax credit extension that cuts child poverty in half and puts money in parents' pockets each month. It expands healthcare coverage for millions and helps seniors pay for home care, hearing aids, and prescriptions by finally allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. Build Back Better also seriously tackles climate change by moving us toward our 2030 emissions reduction goals and does it by producing high-paying, green, union jobs. For veterans, it invests $5 billion to upgrade aging VA hospitals and ensures we better serve those who so bravely served. Build Back Better is fully paid for and returns fairness to the Tax Code by making sure corporations and America's wealthiest pay their fair share. Paired with the bipartisan infrastructure bill, both bills will make life a lot better for all Americans, especially families in Florida. Let's build back better now.
