BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. McBRIDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to share the story of a mother from Delaware whose daughter lives with a condition that means she cannot eat food without getting sick. Her daughter relies on Medicaid to pay for the formula that keeps her alive.

Without it, she won't just struggle. As her mother wrote plainly to me: ``If she loses Medicaid, she will die.''

Mr. Speaker, we must not gut Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires while moms are begging for their children to survive. This mom's story is not an outlier. This is a daily reality for thousands of my constituents.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues: Protect Medicaid and protect this child. This is a lifeline.
