                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McBATH. Madam Speaker, when I hear from our friends and 
neighbors across Georgia, there is no issue that families find more 
concerning than that of the cost of their healthcare.
  As a two-time breast cancer survivor, access to quality healthcare is 
very, very personal to me. While I was in the hospital, all I had to do 
was focus on the strength of my family, the grace of the God that I 
love, and winning my battle with cancer.
  Yet still, far too many families are forced to worry about paying for 
their chemotherapy versus affording the mortgage on their home. That is 
why I continue to work so hard every day to expand affordable 
healthcare for families across Georgia and across the Nation and why I 
am so proud that my bill to cut healthcare costs for those who have 
been laid off during the pandemic was signed into law by our President.
  No American should ever be forced to make the decision between 
putting food on the table or paying for their family's medical bills.
