BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this week, we mark the 13th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. Thanks to President Obama, Americans have been reassured that they can receive the care they need.

Since it was passed into law, the Affordable Care Act has lowered healthcare costs for families and insured more than 35 million Americans.

Democrats' passage of the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act made ACA subsidies more generous, which lowered health insurance costs and helped 29,000 people in my district, Mr. Speaker. Now, they have access to affordable health insurance.

House Democrats continue to protect the Affordable Care Act today. While MAGA Republicans support proposals to cut Americans' healthcare, House Democrats will always stand to protect Americans' healthcare.

I will always put people over politics--today, tomorrow, and every day.
