On the recordMarch 23, 2017
Today House Republicans are preparing to vote to rip away health care from 24 million Americans, 2.7 million of them in New York. In my district, 122,000 people will lose coverage, including 12,700 children. Those who do retain coverage will pay more for less, with deductibles and premiums skyrocketing. This is what House Republicans plan to put on the floor today. It is a plan that benefits the healthy and the wealthy while hurting everyone else. If you have a preexisting condition and your coverage lapses, under TrumpCare, get ready to pay more. Are you a senior? Good luck affording medical coverage if TrumpCare becomes law. You are going to pay the insurance company five times more than younger people. Mr. Speaker, the American people see this for what it is, a direct assault on the vulnerable in order to give a tax cut to the wealthy and the healthy. Reject TrumpCare. ____________________
