Mr. Speaker, tonight I rise to speak in opposition to the Republican healthcare bill that is once again under consideration in this House. Mr. Speaker, it feels like Groundhog Day all over again. The bill is back, and rather than coming to the table to discuss ways we can all work together to improve health care for every American, Republicans are again trying to jam through a misguided bill that would threaten the health care of thousands of Granite Staters and literally millions of Americans. Just a few weeks ago, I joined with my colleagues to highlight a particularly egregious provision of this bill that would jeopardize access to health care for 7 million veterans. Weeks later, these provisions remain in the bill, and this is unacceptable. We had the time, and the Republicans failed to fix this. It is wrong for America, and it is wrong for millions of veterans. I urge Members to oppose the bill. ____________________
