  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 1628 is an assault on hard-
working Americans and their families.
  Trumpcare is sickness care for millions of Americans who will lose 
their healthcare coverage and have to receive healthcare in hospital 
emergency rooms.
  Trumpcare is tax care for the 400 richest families, who will receive 
about $7 million a year ad infinitum if this bill becomes law.
  Trumpcare is less care for Americans who will buy cheap health 
insurance policies and find they are worthless when they get sick and 
need care.
  Trumpcare is insufficient care after the $8 billion over 5 years for 
high-risk pools in this bill runs out across the country.
  Trumpcare is discriminatory care when states can determine that you 
deserve unaffordable high risk care.
  Trumpcare is no care for Americans with pre-existing conditions who 
cannot afford their premiums.
  Trumpcare is a careless political scheme concocted to win elections 
and line the pockets of the very wealthy at the expense of the millions 
who will lose healthcare.
