Virginia Foxx: “This bill is TrumpCare. And TrumpCare means 17 million more Americans…”

On the recordJuly 2, 2025

This bill is TrumpCare. And TrumpCare means 17 million more Americans will be uninsured and all the rest of us will be paying higher costs and driving further to get care. Over the last several months, I have met with hundreds of Delawareans--parents, patients, providers, hospital leaders, teachers, nurses, people from all across the State of Delaware--and everyone was asking us, pleading with us, to kill this bill. Are my Republican colleagues meeting with their constituents? Are they ignoring them? Do they even care? Every "yes" vote shows very clearly that they don't. This bill is trickle-down cruelty, and people will die because of it.
