America is in the middle of a healthcare crisis. More and more Americans can't afford their healthcare. They just can't pay for it. Hospitals are cutting back services. Many of them are closing their doors. Then, Trump and congressional Republicans made things much worse when they spent trillions of dollars on tax cuts that mostly benefited the wealthy. To pay for it, they kicked about 15 million Americans off of their health insurance, a cut of approximately $1 trillion to healthcare for tax cuts for the wealthy. Then, they refused to give 24 million Americans a break on buying healthcare, and now this. This week, congressional Republicans are bringing three bills to the floor that will make it harder for people to breathe. One of those bills, the so-called FENCES Act, directs the EPA to use accounting gimmicks that will allow industries to pollute our air without consequences. It is an air pollution bill. This bill will make Americans sicker while Trump and congressional Republicans have cut healthcare for millions of Americans. Congress should be focused entirely on expanding healthcare and protecting our air and water.
