Transcripts For CSPAN Democratic Weekly Address 20170722 : v

It, because we havent stopped trump care yet. Nobody knows what this week will bring just yet. But we do know that President Trump and republican leader mcconnell are doing everything they can to jam their mean bill through congress. They dont care about the fact that families premiums would skyrocket. They dont care about the tens of millions of people who would be kicked off of coverage. They are simply desperate for a hollow, political winno matter what price patients and families would have to pay. Its wrong, and it really does not have to be this way. For years democrats have urged republicans to drop the partisan political attacks related to health care and instead, join us to work on policies that actually help the people we serve, by making health care more affordable, getting more people covered, and continuing to improve quality of care. Guess what . Were still at the table. We are ready to get to work right away, and there are only a few simple steps republicans need to take to show they are serious about moving our Health Care System in the right direction for families. First, drop trump care and the partisan, political effort to fully repeal the Affordable Care act. Because families have roundly rejected trump carethat couldnt be clearer. Second, stop sabotaging the Health Care System in ways that raise families costs and create uncertainty. Since day one of the trump administration, the president of the United States himself has not only rooted for the failure of the Health Care System, hes actively pursued it. Thats simply wrong. It is raising families costs and limiting their choices. So republicans have got to start cleaning up the mess they made. And third, its time for republicans to tell us their ideas. Look, lets be honest, trump care isnt a Health Care Bill, because what Health Care Bill leaves families paying more and kicks tens of millions of people off of coverage . This bill was always about giving President Trump a hollow political win and handing massive tax breaks to special interests. Democrats have put forward our ideas to stabilize markets and lower premiums next year for families, give people more choices, expand coverage, and more. We believe health care is a rightnot a privilegeand we are ready to keep working to make that goal a reality. And now, its time for republicans to step up and join us, so that we can get to work on policies that help make people healthier and more financially secure. Thats what patients and families expect and thats what i hope republicans will finally work with us to deliver. Thank you again for speaking out against trump care and all the harm it would do to patients and families nationwide. You are the reason President Trump hasnt signed his awful bill into law yet, and were only days away from making sure he doesnt ever get the chance. Democrats will be fighting right alongside you.
