On the recordFebruary 4, 2020
As I walked over to the floor, I left a group of workers in my office who were scared to death that we were going back to the days that people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart issues, must fear being denied coverage, or have premiums too high that they could not afford. Tonight, House Democrats are bringing more than 80 patients, doctors, and healthcare advocates from across the country as guests to the State of the Union to shine a light on our fight to improve the ``State of Healthcare.'' We must stop this disastrous lawsuit that strikes down protections for people with pre-existing conditions, but also would eliminate every last protection and benefit provided by the Affordable Care Act. At the same time, House Democrats have passed 11 bills to lower prescription drug prices, protect people with pre-existing conditions, and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid. We are ready and willing to work with anyone who will come to the table. Please work with us to improve the State of Healthcare in this country. ____________________
