Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, for years Republicans in Congress and the White House have made it a top priority to end healthcare protections for millions of Americans. They voted more than 60 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but when the time came, they had no replacement to offer. Since President Trump took office, more than 3 million fewer Americans have health insurance. They have removed healthcare information from government websites and arbitrarily shut down the Federal marketplace website at peak times to drive down enrollment. Now the Trump administration is at it again, pushing the extreme Texas v. U.S. lawsuit that would repeal the entire ACA and throw America's healthcare system into total disarray. More than 130 million Americans with preexisting conditions would lose their healthcare protections, out-of-pocket costs would jump for millions of America's seniors and families, and some 53 million more Americans would lose access to quality, affordable health coverage before 2024. My Democratic colleagues and I are fighting back to improve coverage and lower more Americans' health premiums, bring down prescription drug costs, and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid for this generation and the next. The American people are right not to trust this Republican Congress or President with their healthcare. Let's stop this endless repeal without replace effort and get back to solutions that will work for the people. ____________________”
