                       SENATE SHOULD MOVE SWIFTLY

  (Ms. BOURDEAUX asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BOURDEAUX. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
Build Back Better Act.
  This bill increases access to affordable healthcare by expanding 
Medicaid in States like Georgia and significantly reducing the cost of 
health insurance premiums on the exchange.
  With this bill, we will finally ensure that every Georgian has access 
to quality, affordable healthcare.
  This bill will also ensure that nearly 200,000 additional 3- and 4-
year-olds in Georgia will have access to universal pre-K.
  The Build Back Better Act is the largest effort to combat the climate 
crisis in American history and realigns our tax code to support 
economic growth in our clean energy economy.
  These are just some of the highlights in this critical bill that is 
fully paid for and makes long-overdue investments in our community and 
in our country.
  I urge the Senate to act swiftly to pass the Build Back Better Act 
and invest in the future of all Americans.
