State Health Care Premium Reduction Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding to me.

I would think that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, the Republicans, would get tired of trying to take healthcare away from Americans, particularly right now.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Enhancement Act would actually make such incredible improvements and make healthcare more affordable, but, no.

The bill includes the No More Narrow Networks Act that I actually introduced that would ensure that consumers can access more comprehensive, equitable, and timely healthcare within their own insurance network now. It also includes the Protecting Consumers from Unreasonable Rates Act and allows the Federal Government to help lower prices when those rates, those premiums are too high.

This is a great bill. You should be for this.
