Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to this bill. This should be called the lower healthcare premiums for none act.

Next year, my constituent, Natalie's, insurance will go from $175 to $400 a month, a fifth of her monthly wages. She is a college student who relies on her insurance for mental health care. She wrote to me: I don't want to pick between my dream, mental health, and food.

What does this bill do for her? Nothing. I know Republicans are getting similar calls. Yet, instead of caring about the millions of Americans who are being forced to make impossible choices, they are putting up this sham of a bill. They should be ashamed.

Mr. Speaker, we came here to deliver for our constituents. Let's vote on a clean extension and avert the cliff. Let's put an end to this scam.
