                 GOP TAX SCAM HURTS WOMEN AND FAMILIES

  (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to attempts by 
Republicans to slash healthcare that millions rely on just to benefit 
Elon Musk and the friends of the President.
  Almost 14 million Americans will lose healthcare coverage if this 
plan is successful. This is life or death.
  In my home State of Georgia, these Republican cuts impact 2 million 
people, real people. A single mother in Atlanta working two jobs is now 
facing losing her Medicaid. A veteran in rural Georgia now has to face 
red tape just to get the benefits he earned serving our country. This 
isn't about accountability. It is about taking food and healthcare from 
people who need it most.
  People have seen how these policies fail. In Georgia, red tape and 
paperwork errors have already kicked thousands off their healthcare 
coverage, even when they are eligible.
  This isn't reform. This is cruelty. My colleagues need to protect 
healthcare for working families, not strip away their lifeline.
