I thank the chairman for yielding and for his work on this important piece of legislation. With the Build Back Better budget, we help lower costs for the working families that I represent. We lower healthcare costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate the price of drugs like insulin, lowering out-of-pocket costs for those families back home that I represent. It will lower childcare costs by ensuring universal preschool for all 3- and 4-year-olds and expanding the child tax credit, which is a monthly tax cut helping working families with children pay for groceries and school supplies and take care of their monthly mortgage payments. This Build Back Better budget isn't free. It is fully paid for. It is paid for by making corporations and the wealthiest Americans finally step up and begin to pay their fair share. Today, Democrats are delivering on this important legislation to cut taxes and to lower costs for working Americans and for those middle- class families that I represent.
