So my question to ░░░░░░░░ is what will you ░░░░░░░░ to ensure lower out ░░░░░░░░ pocket expenses not higher ░░░░░░░░ the same or better ░░░░░░░░ regardless of age income ░░░░░░░░ pre existing condition and ░░░░░░░░ Medicare and Medicaid expansion ░░░░░░░░ short going against everything ░░░░░░░░ the current ahca is ░░░░░░░░ for What will you ░░░░░░░░ in short congresswoman to ░░░░░░░░ my life and the ░░░░░░░░ of Americans like myself ░░░░░░░░ Thank you Katie for ░░░░░░░░ your story with us ░░░░░░░░ all gives us solemn ░░░░░░░░ to pause and again ░░░░░░░░ god for the blessings ░░░░░░░░ he has given others ░░░░░░░░ us So many people ░░░░░░░░ our country over 123 ░░░░░░░░ people or more have ░░░░░░░░ pre existing medical condition ░░░░░░░░ case is as you ░░░░░░░░ something very exceptional Nonetheless ░░░░░░░░ child born with heart ░░░░░░░░ this or that it ░░░░░░░░ the Kimmel baby is ░░░░░░░░ s repeated all over ░░░░░░░░ country without the same ░░░░░░░░ of resources to care ░░░░░░░░ it The whole point ░░░░░░░░ now is to defeat ░░░░░░░░ bill Because that bill ░░░░░░░░ costs for fewer benefits ░░░░░░░░ an age tax for ░░░░░░░░ 50 to 64 kicks ░░░░░░░░ million people 24 million ░░░░░░░░ people will not have ░░░░░░░░ to health care undermines ░░░░░░░░ and the point that ░░░░░░░░ made is it has ░░░░░░░░ essential benefits like pre ░░░░░░░░ conditions are left up ░░░░░░░░ the states The way ░░░░░░░░ have said it to ░░░░░░░░ at town meetings and ░░░░░░░░ the country and airports ░░░░░░░░ wherever I see people ░░░░░░░░ they will say this ░░░░░░░░ a death panel bill ░░░░░░░░ people will die Martin ░░░░░░░░ King said of all ░░░░░░░░ inequalities the most unjust ░░░░░░░░ stunning is the injustice ░░░░░░░░ access to health care ░░░░░░░░ people will die So ░░░░░░░░ we re doing is ░░░░░░░░ fight that legislation and ░░░░░░░░ make it now it ░░░░░░░░ the house It has ░░░░░░░░ gotten worse You have ░░░░░░░░ understand it s part ░░░░░░░░ a deconstruction of government ░░░░░░░░ want to privatize Social ░░░░░░░░ take the guarantee away ░░░░░░░░ Medicare devastate Medicaid and ░░░░░░░░ have the affordable health ░░░░░░░░ as we know it ░░░░░░░░ some I call it ░░░░░░░░ s a cowardly act ░░░░░░░░ say I m going ░░░░░░░░ take away your pre ░░░░░░░░ conditions I m going ░░░░░░░░ say to the states ░░░░░░░░ do it You make ░░░░░░░░ judgment as to what ░░░░░░░░ existing conditions you will ░░░░░░░░ or not That s ░░░░░░░░ across the country people ░░░░░░░░ telling their stories Their ░░░░░░░░ have sad endings in ░░░░░░░░ cases without the Affordable ░░░░░░░░ Act What we re ░░░░░░░░ is hey once we ░░░░░░░░ put this thing to ░░░░░░░░ once and for all ░░░░░░░░ let s hope that ░░░░░░░░ kind of advocacy that ░░░░░░░░ at first in the ░░░░░░░░ will prevail in the ░░░░░░░░ then we can talk ░░░░░░░░ how we expand te ░░░░░░░░ The more people in ░░░░░░░░ pool the healthier the ░░░░░░░░ the lower the cost ░░░░░░░░ he can with have ░░░░░░░░ middle income people have ░░░░░░░░ to the tax credits ░░░░░░░░ we lower the cost ░░░░░░░░ prescription drugs because that ░░░░░░░░ one of the biggest ░░░░░░░░ to the increase in ░░░░░░░░ in medical care How ░░░░░░░░ do this much of ░░░░░░░░ is a part of ░░░░░░░░ Care Act Some of ░░░░░░░░ has expired Our colleagues ░░░░░░░░ who don t want ░░░░░░░░ Affordable Care Act have ░░░░░░░░ allowed some of that ░░░░░░░░ continue You see when ░░░░░░░░ pass a bill and ░░░░░░░░ s implemented what things ░░░░░░░░ can do better and ░░░░░░░░ are prepared to do ░░░░░░░░ We think this Affordable ░░░░░░░░ Act otherwise known as ░░░░░░░░ has good bones It ░░░░░░░░ some renewal of some ░░░░░░░░ it and it needs ░░░░░░░░ expansion of other of ░░░░░░░░
