We wait until kids get really really sick, and then we take them into the medicaid program. In the next few years, half the countrys going to have either diabetes or prediabetes. The issue is healthy food. And getting healthy food to our citizens. This is one piece of it. And we need to do a better job with the s. N. A. P. Program. But just to cut these benefits and just wait until they drive up costs because theyre eating bad food is not the right approach. I yield back the balance of my time. Thank you. Miss louhan grisham . I thank my colleague from wisconsin. My home state, you often hear me talk about this, is one of the hungriest states in the United States. And this budget only makes it worse. It will jeopardize the ability of veterans, seniors, the disabled and children to get the nutrition that they need to be healthy. Its estimated that approximately 900,000 veterans nationwide live in households that rely on s. N. A. P. ....

Saying lets give states the ultimate flexibility and to innovate according to our to their unique characteristics. In michigan, in the year 2000, we had between 1 and 8 and 1 in 9 michigan residents on medicaid. Now we have 1 in 4 on medicaid. As we notice across the country, over 30 of physicians are not even accepting new medicaid patients. And this is at the same time when federal reimbursement rates for medicaid are being cut across the country. So it is not a sustainable program. I think what this does is puts us in a far better path to innovate and to encourage healthy behaviors, and get on a more sustainable path for the future. And i yield back. I thank the gentleman. I yield the remainder of the time, mr. Westmoreland. Mr. Westerman, excuse me. Thank you. I will be brief. And just reiterate some of the things that have already said. In my state, not only do we we have not a fourth of the population getting medicaid services, but a third of the population getting medicaid servi ....

Stop people at their time. Ms. Moore so in that order, representative lee, ryan and lujan. I will stop you. Ms. Lee we know you will. Let me thank you, congresswoman moore, for once again offering this amendment to protect nutrition assistance. You know from personal experience, i know from personal experience, many know that the majority of people dont want to be on food stamps or on snap. They want a job, they want to take care of their families and live the American Dream. Snap helped lift 5,000 people out of poverty in 2013 alone, including 2. 1 million children. In fact, more than 70 of snap participants are families with children. People in every state and in every Congressional District experience food hardship. Yet this republican budget continues the trend of decimating Food Assistance in the longterm a ....

Growthman, three minutes. Mr. Grothman glad to speak one more time on s. J. Resolution 8. Im make two points. Again. One of the things we see here is we have new rules which continue a trend and that is youre fundamentally changing the way things have been for 70 years. Ok. In the past, unions have done a good job organizing. We have added Union Representation to things. But one of the things that business wants and america wants is consistency.
