Mr. Speaker, the Trump Presidency has been characterized by chaos, crisis, and confusion, and this Republican healthcare debacle has been no different. The American people clearly understand that TrumpCare will be an unmitigated disaster. Under TrumpCare, working families will pay more and get less. Under TrumpCare, premiums will increase. Under TrumpCare, copays will increase. Under TrumpCare, deductibles will increase. Under TrumpCare, out-of-pocket expenses will increase. Under TrumpCare, 24 million hardworking Americans will lose their health coverage. Under TrumpCare, individuals between the age of 50 and 64 will pay a regressive age tax. Health care is a matter of life and death; that is why we take it so seriously. TrumpCare will lead to increased death, disease, and destitution, and that is why we oppose this horrible piece of legislation.
