                 GOP TAX SCAM HURTS WOMEN AND FAMILIES

  (Ms. CHU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to the GOP tax 
scam, which would gut the programs that families rely on, like Medicaid 
and SNAP, just to give trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy.
  In my district, more than 208,000 people rely on Medicaid, and 75,000 
people rely on SNAP. They include women like Nancy from Pasadena, 
California.
  Nancy has stage V kidney failure. She relies on Medicaid, SNAP, and 
Social Security to keep a roof over her head, food on her table, and 
continue her treatment. She is scared to death about losing these.
  Nancy asked me to tell my Republican colleagues that one day, they or 
their loved one might need the resources that they are fighting so hard 
to slash.
  Do not take food literally out of the mouths of babies just so Elon 
Musk can buy another yacht. Nancy deserves better. All of our 
constituents deserve better, and House Democrats are here to fight back 
against this cruelty.
