TRUMPCARE IS A TOTAL DISASTER FOR AMERICA
(Mr. SOTO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, TrumpCare--a total disaster for America. Here
it is by the numbers, per our own nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office: 24 million Americans will lose coverage, with 14 million
Americans losing coverage in year one; 15 to 20 percent increases in
health insurance premiums in year one; and if you are paying $1,700,
you will be paying $14,600 in premium increases if you are a 64-year-
old making $26,500 per year.
But where does the money go? $592 billion in tax cuts for the rich.
That is where it is going.
The conclusions: TrumpCare robs health care from American working
families to give tax cuts to the rich.
So vote ``no'' on TrumpCare to vote ``yes'' on health care for
America's working families.
