“It is good to be able to stand on the House floor and speak, not about the crisis of the day or even my hopes for tomorrow, but about something this Congress has delivered to make people's lives better. When I first ran for this job, the number one demand I heard from voters was to make healthcare more accessible and the Affordable Care Act more affordable. With the American Rescue Plan, that is what we have done in a major way. By increasing ACA subsidies and capping premiums, we are enabling the typical middle-class family with marketplace coverage to save hundreds of dollars a month. A 60-year-old couple making $75,000 a year will save almost $1,400 a month. That is life-changing. Now we just have to make this permanent; to keep the promise that no American should be crushed by the cost of their healthcare; and to give people hope that, if they continue to vote for better government, they will continue to get it. ____________________”
