                       ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL REPEAL

  (Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, Virginians are already paying the price 
for the one big, ugly bill.
  Two small-town clinics and one regional urgent care center in 
Virginia just closed as a direct result of the bill. Now, six more 
rural hospitals around the Commonwealth are at risk of closure. That 
means mothers, children, and Virginians with urgent healthcare concerns 
have to drive further to get urgent care or wait months to see a 
specialist.
  Remember, this majority and this President said that this bill 
wouldn't take away benefits or close rural hospitals. Well, they were 
wrong. We don't need more broken promises. What we need is a different 
approach, a one big, beautiful repeal instead.
  Let's pass the Protecting Healthcare and Lowering Costs Act, which 
will restore people's benefits and access to care, ensuring that people 
in small towns and rural communities will have more access to quality 
care, not less.
