Sherrod Brown: “The Cruz amendment doesn't just anticipate changes in the future, it takes away all these services which have been out…”

On the recordMarch 13, 2013
The Cruz amendment doesn't just anticipate changes in the future, it takes away all these services which have been out there that I have been talking about: the thousands of people in Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin who have benefited; 25-year-olds, 22-year-olds, such as somebody who graduates from Champagne, Urbana, Madison, or Columbus and don't have insurance but have a job, are 23 years old and may stay on their parents' health plan. All of the preventive care literally hundreds of thousands of seniors in Ohio now receive with no copay or no deductible would all be wiped away. All the provisions people have benefited from already would be taken away by this amendment.

Those unions support me in large part because their members don’t like higher electric bills. Their members don’t like having no say on these datacenters coming to their towns.
