                 MEDICAID CUTS HURT EVERYDAY AMERICANS

  (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, this is Rose. She is 7 years old and in the 
first grade, and she makes friends everywhere she goes.
  Rose was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic syndrome when she was 
just 3\1/2\. She now uses a feeding tube and a wheelchair. Medicaid 
allows Rose to receive physical therapy. Thanks to this therapy, she is 
starting to take steps.
  Mr. Speaker, my Republican colleagues are working overtime to take 
Rose's healthcare away. It might be easy for people to strike through 
one number and write in another, take a little bit from here and there, 
but each of those numbers represents a person, a child like Rose, who 
will lose critical care so billionaires can have more money in their 
pockets.
  We cannot let them steal from our kids and our families. We will not.
