“It is November 18, 2021. Those of us who serve in the Congress of the United States on this date will be able to tell our children and our children's children that we were there when the United States Congress passed one of the most transformational bills in the history of the Congress for the people. Tonight, House Democrats will vote on the Build Back Better Act as will House Republicans, legislation to transform our country by making opportunities available and equitable for all Americans. Its name, of course, refers to the broad recognition that too many Americans are just barely getting by in our economy, and we simply cannot go back to the way things were before the pandemic. We have to ensure our people can access the tools and resources they need, not just to survive, but to succeed. This bill does so by making investments in four key areas. First, it will invest in childcare, universal pre-K, and home care so that more Americans can get back to the workforce and grow our economy. Secondly, it further expands the Affordable Care Act coverage, reduces out-of-pocket costs, caps insulin at $35 for everyone, and finally gives Medicare the tools and authority to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors just as we do for veterans. Thirdly, it will bring down the everyday costs for housing and higher education that make it harder for Americans to secure a place in our middle class.…”
