BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, Americans should run away as far and as fast as they can from Republicans' last-minute mess of a healthcare plan.

Under the Republicans' plan, millions of Americans will not be able to afford health insurance because Republicans don't provide money for Americans to pay for the healthcare under the Affordable Care Act.

Americans don't have an extra $1,000 or $2,000 in their pockets every month to pay for health insurance. They shouldn't have to choose between being able to afford a doctor's visit or feeding their family.

House Democrats' discharge petition will extend the tax credits that lower costs and help Americans buy health insurance. Mr. Speaker, four Republicans just joined our efforts. We welcome more.

Speaker Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately. Don't send Congress on holiday without making sure that we protect healthcare for over 20 million Americans.
