On the recordMarch 24, 2017
``Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.'' Dr. King spoke these words because the health of our fellow Americans is a moral imperative. What we have before us today is a morally corrupt bill: morally corrupt because it claws away health insurance from 24 million Americans, morally corrupt because it leaves nearly 1 million of my fellow Illinoisans without health insurance, morally corrupt because 240,000 Illinois kids will no longer have the safety and security of their current coverage. When you cast your vote today, know that you own its aftermath here, forward. Will you cast your vote for party or will you cast your vote to do what is best in the lives of the people you represent? Think of the last senior whose hand you shook at a townhall. Think of the last child you hugged at a school visit. Does this bill do right by them? Will they be better off? If you have any doubt, vote ``no.'' Vote ``no,'' and kill this bad bill. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price).
