Mr. Speaker, we are here solely because of Republican blunders. Hardly the first blunder. Many more blunders will need correcting from this trumped-up partisan bill. If President Trump blunders into signing it today, it will trigger $25 billion in Medicare cuts. This sad bill is left without any name.

The truth will eventually catch up with these lies.
