I thank the good gentleman from Minnesota for his tremendous work and for his words. As the gentleman spoke, I think about all the names that we could call this bill that is before us. We can call it TrumpCare, we can call it the pay more get less bill, and we can call it the broken promises bill. But I think what the gentleman's words have shown us is that this is a bill that is going to deeply affect 24 million Americans across the country and tear them off of their health care, and that is just not acceptable. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Brownley). It is a great honor to introduce my colleague who is a champion for so many issues.
