“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 271, a resolution condemning the Trump administration's legal campaign to take away America's healthcare. Here is what healthcare means: it is the freedom and security to live your life the way you choose. It can be the difference between financial security and bankruptcy, or life and death. Donald Trump and congressional Republicans want to use the courts to take health insurance away from 21 million Americans. They want to eliminate protections for the more than 133 million Americans with preexisting conditions. Now, the Affordable Care Act is not perfect, but never in American history has the uninsured rate been lower than it is today. But rather than be honest about what is working, rather than coming to the table to work across the aisle and fix what is wrong, Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to overturn the ACA, with no plan except one that was so bad, they couldn't pass it when they controlled both houses of Congress. Meanwhile, the Democratic majority is proposing real solutions and smart healthcare policies that will lower costs and expand coverage. The contrast couldn't be more clear. Democrats want quality, affordable health coverage for every American, and Republicans don't. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this resolution.”
