                     ACA TAX CREDITS SET TO EXPIRE

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, in just a few weeks, tax credits for the 
Affordable Care Act are set to expire.
  The President has had weeks and months to negotiate a deal that 
addresses the healthcare crisis in this Nation. Instead, here in the 
House of Representatives, the Speaker chose for us to be out of session 
for 8 weeks, while people across this country and in my State of 
Florida are getting letters in the mail saying that their healthcare 
premiums will go up anywhere from 50 to 300 percent. Mr. Speaker, 
189,000 of my own constituents have been getting these notices.

  One of my constituents, battling stage IV breast cancer, said that 
without these credits, she can't afford insurance or the lifesaving 
medicine that she needs.
  For her and millions more, this isn't about partisan politics. It is 
literally about life or death.
  Donald Trump's latest idea is to give money directly to the people to 
pick their health insurance, but that is exactly how these ACA 
subsidies worked.
  Since he can only make concepts of a plan for our healthcare system, 
I have a plan. Let's fix it, let's invest in it, and let's make our 
government actually work for the people, not just the ultrawealthy. I 
believe healthcare in this country should be a human right.
