Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “I rise to oppose this vile Republican plunder of working families, seniors, and veterans, all so the richest Americans…”

“I rise to oppose this vile Republican plunder of working families, seniors, and veterans, all so the richest Americans can be showered with even more wealth. This billionaire bailout would strip healthcare coverage from 17 million Americans, nearly 2 million in my State of Florida. It would push millions into crowded, costly emergency rooms and saddle them with medical debt. Trump's big, ugly bill also steals record food assistance from millions of kids, seniors, and veterans. It makes cancer screenings and prenatal care harder to get by defunding Planned Parenthood. It cripples solar and wind projects and kills millions of clean, green manufacturing and construction jobs, all so the rich can get huge tax breaks. No family is unscathed because this bill also blows up the national debt by $4 trillion, which drives up interest rates on car loans and mortgages and triggers billions in Medicare cuts, cutting healthcare for our seniors. This bill makes life less affordable and more painful. Instead of uplifting lives, it will end them. When history looks back on this bill, its legacy will be: Trump lied, and people died. Vote 'no.'”
