Mrs. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, first and foremost, I will state that nobody should ever be denied basic healthcare, period. No one is better off when people are forced to receive healthcare in emergency rooms or receive a later stage diagnosis because of lack of preventive care and seeing a doctor on a regular basis.

Over 22 million people, including 400,000 Arizonans, with marketplace coverage are seeing their premiums skyrocket.

I cannot state this any clearer: People cannot afford to pay more for their healthcare and shouldn't be forced to. Allowing premiums to skyrocket, enacting a backdoor abortion ban, and allowing plans to not cover things like maternity care and preexisting conditions is not a solution. It is abandonment.

Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on this bill.
