                         OPPOSING MEDICAID CUTS

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my profound 
opposition to the callous cuts to Medicaid included in the House 
majority's reconciliation legislation.
  Throughout my career, I have worked to support all individuals when 
they need emergency assistance or encounter a setback in the economy. I 
have seen the tangible value of the Medicaid program in northwest 
Indiana and how it predominantly assists seniors, individuals with 
disabilities, and children.
  It is deeply regrettable that this misguided legislation will not 
only strip away these healthcare benefits, but it also increases 
private healthcare costs and reduces services for everyone.
  Take Jake, a high school student who uses a wheelchair. He relies on 
a Medicaid waiver for school support and depends on our healthcare 
system to move, thrive, and survive. Cutting his Medicaid isn't just 
wrong, it is cruel.
  This legislation amounts to the largest transfer of wealth from the 
pockets of the most vulnerable and working families to the richest 
among us.
  I urge my Senate colleagues to reject this harmful legislation.
