Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the House will vote on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Enhancement Act, a bill that will lower healthcare costs and prescription drug costs, protect patients with preexisting conditions, expand Medicaid, and lower prescription drug costs. Democrats have been committed since the day we arrived here to strengthening access to quality healthcare. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, on the other hand, are trying to rip away healthcare from 20 million Americans and weaken protection for 135 million Americans with preexisting conditions. They have been trying to do this for 10 years. They are obsessed with the very idea. Yesterday, President Trump joined 18 Republican Governors and attorneys general in filing a brief in the United States Supreme Court to have the entire Affordable Care Act declared unconstitutional in the middle of a global health pandemic. More than 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment; 120,000 Americans have died; and more than 2.25 million Americans have been infected with this virus. There has never been a more important time to protect access to quality, affordable healthcare than right now. That is why Democrats are going to move forward with another bill that will further strengthen access to high-quality, affordable healthcare. It is important that we continue this fight to protect the American people and their access to healthcare. ____________________”
