                  AMERICANS DESERVE QUALITY HEALTHCARE

  (Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Mr. Speaker, since January, the House of 
Representatives has passed bills lowering prescription drug prices, 
strengthening protections for preexisting conditions, and making sure 
Americans can find affordable, quality health insurance coverage.
  I know thousands of Delawareans, small businesses, and millennials 
all across the board are struggling to afford the healthcare that they 
need, and in 2019 that is unacceptable.
  Many of us saw hope and help when the Affordable Care Act was passed, 
and my commitment to the American people is protecting the ground that 
we gained while strengthening this landmark legislation.
  As part of that commitment, six bills stabilizing the ACA and 
lowering the cost of prescription drugs were incorporated into my bill, 
the MORE Health Education Act, and the entire package passed the House 
a few weeks ago.
  This bill will help lower the cost of prescription drugs by bringing 
generics to the market faster, helping Americans understand health 
insurance options available to them, and protect those with preexisting 
conditions.
  I am proud that this legislation passed the House of Representatives, 
and I look forward to working with the Senate to ensure that these 
bills become law.
  Every American deserves quality healthcare that is accessible and 
affordable, and we will keep fighting for our States and for the 
country.
