Mr. Speaker, the chairman of our committee knows I have great respect for him, but the bottom line is that this bill does not consider individual circumstances. It is not just people that are selling drugs. Look, I totally agree that if…
Mr. Chair, I appreciate what the gentleman from California is saying. The bottom line is, if these programs are successful under the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, and I agree they have been, the numbers in terms of people…
for months President Trump and congressional Republicans have been promising that they would not cut Medicaid or Medicare. The reality is that Republicans are cutting both Medicaid and Medicare in this bill. They are essentially repealing…
Bruce Springsteen is an American icon who has spent five decades telling the story of blue-collar life in this country.
If I’m kicked off Medicaid because I didn’t file the paperwork — which is what CBO says is the main reason why people are kicked off, not because they’re not eligible, … then the CBO assumed they would naturally then go to the ACA…
People feel very strongly because they know they're losing their healthcare.
With this bill, Republicans are essentially telling millions of Americans, 'Gotcha, no more health care for you.'
Trump and Republicans have been lying when they claim they aren’t going to cut Medicaid and take away people’s health care.
[Nowhere] in the bill are they cutting 'waste, fraud, and abuse' — they're cutting people's health care and using that money to give tax breaks to billionaires.
I urge unanimous support for this legislation. Once again, this is another very important bill as part of this consumer protection agenda today. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

One of my colleagues on the Republican side asked earlier what Democrats are fighting for. Mr. Speaker, I am a proud Democrat fighting for America's healthcare, and I stress that this partisan Republican bill cuts American healthcare. This…
This letter from CBO confirms what we’ve been saying all along: the math doesn’t work without devastating Medicaid cuts.
Republicans are absolutely more apprehensive about cutting Medicaid today than during those earlier episodes.
Because of the many people in nursing homes, because of the expansion of Medicaid under the ACA, a lot more people in these rural areas and Republican districts are impacted.
This letter from CBO confirms what we’ve been saying all along: the math doesn’t work without devastating Medicaid cuts.
