The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Kentucky (Mr. Yarmuth) and the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith) each
will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Kentucky.
General Leave
Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend remarks and
insert extraneous material into the Record on H.R. 1868.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Kentucky?
There was no objection.
Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, today, the House meets on the heels of huge milestones
for our country: more than 180 million vaccine shots in Americans' arms
and more than 150 million rescue checks in Americans' bank accounts.
As the resources included in the American Rescue Plan continue to
strengthen our Nation's fight against COVID-19 and deliver critical
relief to American families, today's legislation will ensure our
healthcare providers--who have been on the front lines of this
pandemic--are supported during this difficult time.
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress came together to provide
financial support to healthcare providers by temporarily pausing the
sequestration of the Medicare program created by the Budget Control Act
of 2011. This pause, originally enacted in the CARES Act and then
further extended in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, was
slated to expire on March 31, 2021. Today's legislation will extend the
suspension through the end of this year.
Madam Speaker, I am pleased that this bill received bipartisan
support in the Senate, and it is my hope that it will receive broad
bipartisan support in this Chamber as well.
However, I would be remiss if I did not state my disappointment that
the needed legislative fix to exclude the American Rescue Plan from the
statutory paygo scorecard was dropped from this measure.
Many of my House Republican colleagues supported this bill in its
original form, which would essentially put the American Rescue Plan on
equal footing with our other COVID relief packages and ensure it is
treated the same as the previous reconciliation bill passed by
Congress.
So while today's action is an important step, our work is not done.
Next, we must enact an additional legislative fix to prevent a separate
paygo sequester and avert painful and indiscriminate cuts to Medicare,
farm supports, social services, resources for students and individuals
with disabilities, and other programs Americans rely on.
I am committed to passing this bill today, and enacting a second
sequester fix before the end of this session of Congress. I invite all
my colleagues to join me in these important efforts.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Madam Speaker, the legislation before us today is clearly a wiser
course of action than that which my House Democrat colleagues pursued
just a few weeks ago. As a reminder, despite House Republicans
specifically raising the concern over the risk House Democrats were
taking with the healthcare of America's seniors, our Democrat
colleagues first dismissed the fact that their recently enacted $1.9
trillion bailout bill would lead to billions in cuts to Medicare. Then,
after passing their bill, and after the President signed into law a
plan that would lead to $36 billion in cuts to Medicare, Democrats
suddenly felt compelled to acknowledge that fact.
Unfortunately, when they chose to act, Democrats chose a course of
action that completely failed. I say chose that course of action
because they could have protected America's seniors and offset the
impact to the budget by adopting the Protect Seniors and Cut Waste Act
put forward by House Republicans, which would:
Stop benefits and payments to prisoners and illegal immigrants; stop
funds from the bailout bail for the National Endowment for the Arts and
National Endowment for the Humanities; stop special handouts for
Federal employees; and rescind billions in bailouts that go to State
governments.
Our Democrat colleagues were unwilling to accept such a commonsense
approach. They wanted to simply pretend $1.9 trillion in spending is
not happening and erase the evidence.
Thankfully, the Senate, in a bipartisan vote of 90-2, agreed to the
bill that is before us today--legislation that postpones the Budget
Control Act's reduction in Medicare spending that is otherwise set to
begin this month. It offsets and achieves those savings by extending
future funding restraints an additional year.
It avoids a cut to Medicare that is smaller than that which is set to
occur because of the Biden bailout bill, but it also does not simply
shove under the
[[Page H1731]]
rug the cost of the debt-inducing actions taken by Washington Democrats
thus far. They will have to deal with those actions and their spending.
In the meantime, we can and should act on the legislation before us
to do what is prudent and possible to protect America's seniors.
Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from
Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), a distinguished member of the Budget
Committee.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman very much for
yielding, and I rise in support of the Senate amendment to H.R. 1868,
an act to prevent direct across-the-board spending cuts, which would
include protecting Medicare.
Madam Speaker, one of the happiest days of my life as a Member of the
United States Congress--and I have passed many legislative
initiatives--is the passing of the American Rescue Act. Just in the
time that I was in the district in the work recess, I was able to see
the smiles of so many--such as our Federally qualified health clinics
getting almost 50 million to provide vaccinations to well-deserved
communities--smiling faces about the American Rescue Act.
And so the reason why this is an important initiative is because it
retains language included by Congress in the CARES Act and subsequent
legislation to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
Medicare plans and providers are receiving payment rates at
approximately 2 percent higher than what they otherwise could have
received during this time. The pause in the operability of the
sequestration was slated to expire on March 31, 2021, but H.R. 1868
extended the suspension to December 30, 2021. We do not want any cuts
from Medicare, and Democrats will not have any cuts in Medicare.
The Senate amendment to that legislation reduced that time to the end
of the fiscal year 2021--September 30--but I know that even though it
has been reduced to that, we will extend it because we will not have
any cuts. I believe the American Rescue Plan was desperately needed--
$20 billion in vaccinations; contact tracing and testing; billions of
dollars for our schools and our teachers; dollars that would help
ensure that our unemployment is extended, and the $1,400. Vaccines in
the arms; money in people's pocket.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentlewoman from Texas an
additional 30 seconds.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Kentucky
for yielding.
Madam Speaker, the American Rescue Plan will bring $16.7 billion to
the State of Texas. The lion's share of $3.3 billion will come directly
to the city of Houston and Harris County.
I thank the gentleman from Kentucky for allowing me to offer a motion
to instruct that indicated that we would not stop direct funding from
going to our local jurisdictions, which we fought. And every time I see
my mayor and local officials, they are smiling for that direct
funding--$1.4 billion to smaller jurisdictions like Jacinto City and
the Houston Independent School District getting millions of dollars.
Madam Speaker, this particular amendment is important because
Democrats don't cut Medicare. We are standing here today to make sure
that nothing happens to our seniors and Medicare.
Madam Speaker, I support this legislation.
Madam Speaker, as a senior member of the Committees on the Judiciary,
on Homeland Security, on the Budget, and as the Member of Congress for
a congressional district that has experienced the worst of the COVID-19
as a public health emergency and economic catastrophe, I rise in
support of Senate Amendment to H.R. 1868.
I do so because this legislation retains language included by
Congress in the CARES Act and subsequent legislation to address the
COVID-19 pandemic, Medicare plans and providers are receiving payment
rates that are approximately 2 percent higher than what they otherwise
would have received during this time.
This pause in the operability of sequestration was slated to expire
on March 31, 2021, but H.R. 1868 extended the suspension through
December 31, 2021; the Senate Amendment to that legislation reduced
that time to the end of fiscal year 2021, or September 30, 2021.
It is very disappointing that the provision in H.R. 1868 passed by
House excluding the budgetary effects of the American Rescue Plan Act
of 2021, from the scorecards established by the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go
(PAYGO) Act of 2010 and preventing across-the-board cuts to numerous
direct spending programs were not included in the amendment passed by
the Senate.
But as a member of the Budget Committee, I will be working tirelessly
with Chairman Yarmuth and my colleagues to ensure that Congress
designates as an emergency or otherwise excludes from the PAYGO
scorecard the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to avert sequestration.
Madam Speaker, Congress has never permitted sequestration to affect
the Medicare trust fund and it certainly will not allow it now, just
when help is arriving under the American Rescue Plan Act to put shots
in arms, money in pockets, kids in school, and workers back on the job.
It is worthwhile to explain why the American Rescue Plan Act is the
most transformative legislation in more than a half century and easily
justifies exclusion from sequestration.
H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act, is a landmark, life-saving
legislation that will provide urgently-needed resources to defeat the
virus, put vaccines in people's arms, money into families' pockets,
children safely back into classrooms, and people back to work.
With tens of millions of Americans infected, more than half a million
lives lost, over 18 million Americans unemployed and millions more
hungry and food and housing insecure, thanks to the work of
congressional Democrats in the House and Senate and the Biden
administration, at long last the people of the United States and my
home state of Texas can be assured that ``Help Is On The Way.''
In simple terms this life-saving and life-enhancing legislation puts
vaccines in arms, puts money in people's pockets, puts children safely
back in school, and it will put workers back in jobs.
1. Put Vaccines in Arms: The plan will mount a national vaccination
program that includes setting up community vaccination sites nationwide
and addressing disparities facing communities of color. It will also
take complementary measures to combat the virus, including scaling up
testing and tracing, addressing shortages of personal protective
equipment and other critical supplies, investing in high-quality
treatments, and addressing health care disparities.
2. Put Money in People's Pockets: The plan finishes the job on the
President's promise to provide $2,000 in direct assistance to
households across America with checks of $1,400 per person, following
the $600 down payment enacted in December. The plan will also provide
direct housing assistance, nutrition assistance for 40 million
Americans, expand access to safe and reliable child care and affordable
health care, extend unemployment insurance so that 18 million American
workers can pay their bills and support 27 million children with an
expanded Child Tax Credit and more than 17 million low-wage workers
through an improved Earned Income Tax Credit.
3. Put Children Safely Back in School: The plan delivers $170 billion
for education and $45 billion for childcare providers. This includes a
$130 billion investment in K-12 school re-opening and making up for
lost time in the classroom, with funds that can be used for such things
as reducing class sizes, modifying spaces so that students and teachers
can socially distance, improving ventilation, implementing more
mitigation measures, providing personal protective equipment and
providing summer school or other support for students that help make up
lost learning time this year. The plan also provides more than $40
billion for higher education.
Here is what the American Rescue Plan Act means for the State of
Texas, Houston, and Harris County.
An estimated $16.7 billion will come to the State of Texas.
The lion's share of $3.3 billion will come directly to the City of
Houston, and Harris County will receive a similar share of $5.667
billion, thanks to a provision in the law I helped secure that created
the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and appropriated $45.57
billion.
$1.4 billion in direct payments is allocated to smaller jurisdiction
like Jacinto City.
Houston Independent School District can expect to receive close to
$100 million ($993,198 million to be more precise).
The law specifically allows this funding to be used:
1. To respond to the pandemic or its negative economic impacts,
including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits,
or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality;
2. For premium pay to eligible workers performing essential work (as
determined by each
[[Page H1732]]
recipient government) during the pandemic, providing up to $13 per hour
above regular wages;
3. For the provision of government services to the extent of the
reduction in revenue due to the pandemic (relative to revenues
collected in the most recent full fiscal year); and
4. To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband
infrastructure.
In addition to these funds, Texas will receive $100 million out of
the newly created $10 billion Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund for
``critical capital projects directly enabling work, education, and
health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the public
health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease.
Now all that is well and good but let me tell you what the American
Rescue Plan Act means for a hard-working and hard-pressed single mother
of two children making a modest income:
Stimulus checks: $1,400 3 = $4,200,
Child tax credit: $3,600 (5-year-old) + $3,000 (9-year-old) = $6,600.
Half of that amount will be paid out periodically from late July
through December; the rest will come as a check with next year's taxes.
Enhanced unemployment: If the parent becomes unemployed in March, she
will be eligible for $300 in aid every week through the last week of
August.
Total: $10,800 from stimulus and tax credits, plus another $7,500
from 25-weeks of enhanced unemployment aid. This individual would also
receive $318 per week in state unemployment aid and thousands more from
the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Finally, let me discuss briefly the good things for the restaurant
industry that are in the American Rescue Plan Act.
The law allocates $28 billion in funds to devastated food service
establishments, including bars, and food trucks, and vendors.
Unlike the Paycheck Protection Program, which saddled restaurants
with burdensome loans if the bulk of the funds were not spent on
payroll, these restaurant relief dollars are grants, plain and simple.
Grant sizes will generally be determined by subtracting lower 2020
pandemic-era receipts from higher 2019 gross receipts.
Over $5 billion will be set aside for smaller venues whose annual
gross receipts were below $500,000, leaving $23.6 billion for everyone
else.
Grants will be capped at $10 million for restaurant groups and $5
million for individual venues.
Publicly traded companies or restaurants with more than 20 locations
will not be eligible to participate in this funding.
And, for the first 21 days, establishments owned by women, veterans,
or economically and socially disadvantaged groups will be prioritized.
This transformative legislation will also provide direct housing
assistance, nutrition assistance for 40 million Americans, expand
access to safe and reliable child care and affordable health care,
extend unemployment insurance so that 18 million American workers can
pay their bills and support 27 million children with an expanded Child
Tax Credit and more than 17 million low-wage childless workers through
an improved Earned Income Tax Credit, which will reduce the number of
children living in poverty in America by 50 percent.
I want to commend my colleagues and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for
her leadership and President Biden for signing into law the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and I urge all Members to join me in voting to
pass the bill before us, the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1868, and to
redouble our efforts to ensure the exclusion of the budgetary effects
of the American Rescue Plan Act from the scorecards established by the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010, thus precluding the
implementation of direct across the board cuts in spending.
{time} 1915
Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I will just say that
Republicans don't cut Medicare. In fact, the Biden bailout bill that
was passed cut $36 billion a year in Medicare. Yet, the Senate
Democrats have not done anything in regard to those Medicare cuts to
seniors in the Biden bailout bill.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, as the gentleman from Missouri mentioned
early on, this bill passed the Senate by a 90-2 margin, and I
anticipate it will pass the House by a significant margin as well.
Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle
to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Yarmuth) that the House suspend the rules
and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 1868.
The question was taken.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and
nays.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 384,
nays 38, not voting 6, as follows:
