Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule to advance this bill. I am opposed to the bill.

This bill includes massive cuts to veterans' care, 30 million fewer medical visits for my fellow veterans. We are going to see my fellow veterans wait longer to have their claims heard. They are going to see telehealth get worse, mental health services get worse, and homelessness issues get worse. This bill is a betrayal of the obligation this country has to everyone who served.

I have seen my fellow veterans used as props on folks' websites and in their ads, people wrap themselves in the flag.

Guess what? You don't get to claim you are here for veterans, standing up for veterans when you cut their care. That is what this bill does. It is a disgrace. Everyone in the country ought to know it. We ought to vote it down.
