Thank you. I first want to thank my colleague for taking the floor and showing the American people how horrible this administration is treating average families--working families--in so many ways, and I know he intends to hold the floor for a long time to make sure that that is the case in letting America know how bad this is. Now, our healthcare is the main focus right now, and it is amazing, I would say to my colleague: Isn't it incredible that all of these cuts they are proposing in healthcare are done with a purpose in mind, and that is to reduce the taxes on billionaires? Doesn't it bother my colleague that these people whom he has been documenting who so desperately need healthcare are going to lose that if our Republican colleagues have their way simply to cut taxes for the very wealthy? That is my question.
