“Madam Speaker, after so many failed attempts to repeal our access to healthcare, Trump and his Republican cohorts are finding new ways to take away coverage from millions of Americans who suffer with preexisting conditions. Now, Republicans have hijacked the mechanism that was designed to promote State healthcare innovation to subvert that very innovation. What they call ``innovation'' is finding new ways to destroy protections for preexisting conditions and to promote junk insurance plans that cover--well, they cover what you don't need most. If you really need it, if it is for your medical condition, they are unlikely to cover it. How outrageous. A waiver of Federal regulations designed to encourage innovation that just waves goodbye to the safeguards that an estimated 40 percent of Texans with preexisting conditions really need. So, while Trump continues to hide his tax returns, he cannot hide the fact that he is sabotaging the healthcare protections for millions of Americans. After bankrupting his own businesses and leaving creditors at a loss for decades, Trump would bankrupt families with serious medical needs. And it is almost a joke that he tells us he's got a great plan to solve all of our healthcare needs--he said it again at the White House this morning--but he is going to wait until after the next election to show us what his secret plan is, which sounds a lot like the failed plan that he advocated in the last election.…”
