“Republicans in Congress and now President Trump are twisting arms and trying to make a deal to get their terrible healthcare bill through this House of Representatives. It is so interesting to note that they are working really hard to make sure they can have a vote, if they can, before Members have to go home and speak to the people that they work for. Why would that be? Why would they be so fearful of having to go back and explain what is happening? They would rather go back and say: It is too late. I already voted for it. Sorry. They do that because they know this is a bad piece of legislation. Don't just take it from me. Other Republican Members have said things like: This legislation provides health care in name only or it torpedoes protections for people with preexisting conditions. No one should be fooled by this last-minute ditch effort to put some money on the table as if it is enough to provide support for preexisting conditions. Let's be clear, this change eliminates the guarantee that you can get coverage if you have any sort of preexisting condition. We should reject it. ____________________”
