                   MILLIONS STAND TO LOSE HEALTHCARE

  (Mrs. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the people of 
Nevada's Third District, I rise today for the 288,000 Nevadans with 
Medicaid, thanks to the Affordable Care Act;
  For the thousands of young Nevadans under the age of 26 who can stay 
on their parent's health plan, thanks to the Affordable Care Act;
  For the nearly 350,000 Nevada seniors on Medicare part D who are now 
paying less for their prescription drugs, thanks to the Affordable Care 
Act;
  For the 20 million Americans who are scared right now of losing the 
healthcare they have finally received, thanks to the Affordable Care 
Act; and
  For the 1.2 million Nevadans and 130 million Americans with asthma, 
high blood pressure, ALS, cancer, cystic fibrosis, depression, HIV, and 
other diseases, for their preexisting conditions that will not be 
protected if the Affordable Care Act is dismantled.
  Look, it is pretty simple. If the lower court decision in Texas v. 
United States lawsuit stands, millions could lose their health 
insurance. I stand for every one of those Americans, and we should all 
stand for them.
