The Build Back Better Act addresses urgent challenges that workers, families, and businesses face every day. With provisions just within the jurisdiction of the Education and Labor Committee, the bill makes childcare affordable and secures universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds lowering the costs of working families and boosting our economy by helping parents reenter the workforce. It also allows 9 million more children to receive healthy school meals. It lowers the cost of prescription drugs, and it lowers the cost of higher education. Through investments of high-quality job training programs, it gives workers more opportunities and enhances the skills of our workforce. Madam Speaker, the Build Back Better Act is a historic proposal that will lower costs for nearly every American family, creates good-paying jobs, and sets a strong foundation for the future of this country--and it is paid for. Madam Speaker, I encourage all of our colleagues to support the bill.
