On the recordMarch 14, 2017
I want to first thank my colleague from Michigan for her outstanding presentation. It was succinct. It was on point. It showed all the problems with TrumpCare. I hope we will see a lot more not only of her speaking about this--and I know we will--but those great charts she put together. I, too, rise this afternoon again on the Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. There has been some confusion about what to call it. Speaker Ryan, one of the principal authors of the bill, doesn't want it called RyanCare. President Trump doesn't want it called TrumpCare. President Trump slapped his name on buildings, ties, steaks, hotels, and golf clubs, but not on a bill that he says he supports. If it is so good, why doesn't any Republican want to put their name on it? I think the reason is because every single day, as we learn more and more about the bill, more and more Americans are turning against it. Doctors don't like it. Patients don't like it. Hospitals don't like it. Women don't like it. Millennials don't like it. Seniors don't like it. More and more Republicans don't like it. And Democrats are totally united against it. So I just want to ask one question. TrumpCare has been public for 1 week now. Is there any group left in the country who actually likes it? I am not sure there is. So Republicans have resorted to their usual talking points. They like to talk about access to healthcare. That is what Dr. Price said over and over again.…
