Gop Tax Scam Hurts Women and Families

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to attempts by Republicans to slash healthcare that millions rely on just to benefit Elon Musk and the friends of the President.

Almost 14 million Americans will lose healthcare coverage if this plan is successful. This is life or death.

In my home State of Georgia, these Republican cuts impact 2 million people, real people. A single mother in Atlanta working two jobs is now facing losing her Medicaid. A veteran in rural Georgia now has to face red tape just to get the benefits he earned serving our country. This isn't about accountability. It is about taking food and healthcare from people who need it most.

People have seen how these policies fail. In Georgia, red tape and paperwork errors have already kicked thousands off their healthcare coverage, even when they are eligible.

This isn't reform. This is cruelty. My colleagues need to protect healthcare for working families, not strip away their lifeline.
