“I want to thank Congresswoman Black for her leadership on this very commonsense issue, so commonsense at a time where it seems like Democrats and Republicans and the President in Washington rarely agree on anything, we all agree on this, on closing this loophole in the President's health care plan that really should have never been there in the first place. We got good news last week when the President rescinded another big flaw in the President's health care plan, when he gave up on the CLASS Act. It was a plan for nursing home care and later care for elderly that was financed in a way that even Senate Democrats labeled it a Ponzi scheme. Thankfully, that's been repealed. Today we're here to repeal another loophole in a really nonsensical part in the President's health care plan for couples who make more than the national average in income, $64,000 per year. Today, under the law, they can qualify for Medicaid. That's a program for the very poor in America. That's a program we don't have enough money for as it is.…”
