the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. neal: mr. speaker, if the gentleman is prepared to close, i'll proceed. mr. marchant: yes. mr. neal: ok. mr. speaker, in closing i want to make sure that the american people understand the impact of the underlying bill, that h.r. 2372 intends to amend. the bill purports to make a fix to the republicans' harmful health care bill, but the fix is inadequate for the harm the underlying legislation would cause. we have independent verification from both c.m.s. act wear and the congressional -- actuary and the congressional budget office to reinforce our position. the republican health bill would cause millions to lose health insurance, face higher premiums, and out-of-pocket costs, and jeopardize the health security that americans with pre-existing conditions have today. we should be working to improve our health care system, not make it more difficult and unaffordable for america's families. if this is such a great policy, let's not tie it to a bill that's doomed in the senate. in fact, if anybody

the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: mr. president, i don't think we ought to vote on a bill that will touch every single human being in this country when one party is locked out of the debate, not able to read the bill and not able to discuss and it help make suggestions and changes. i think that families all across this country should be able to see this bill and should be able to evaluate the impact on themselves and on their families. i'm here today, in part, because of a little boy named nicholas who was born way too early who is 2 years old and received a diagnosis of autism. he is a recipient of medicaid. i talked to his mother today. she wants to know whether or not this bill will cut nicholas' care and what this means for nicholas' future. i think it's wrong for republicans to push through a bill when nicholas' mother can't know what the impact will be on her and her child. so i believe we should post online any bill that's going to affect families like that and for that reason, i ask unanimous consent that a substi

jonathan gruber, economics professor of the massachusetts institute of technology. also described as the architect of obamacare. depending which side is saying that. meant as a good thing or not so much. all right, gentlemen. we don't know every detail that's in the republican bill, but some has begun to leak out. jonathan, to you. the senate plan is going to drop the waiver. allowing states to let insurers boost premiums or some people with pre-xrifti ipre-existing cd would be covered as we know. and the end of medicaid expansion slower under the senate version. again, just compared to the house version, does this bill have more heart, as the president would say, jonathan? >> you know, i'm torn this morning. on the one hand, this is no longer an obamacare repeal bill. that's good. on the other hand, this is just a giant cut in medicaid pap that's what this bill amounts to. that's bad. >> huh. >> because delaying -- look, we have a very long future ahead of us. if you delay three years the medicaid cuts, you have the convenient feature which doug knows well, which i

woman in massachusetts drove her friend to the emergency room then became the emergency. the 87-year-old woman smashed her car into the hospital yesterday. she was driving her friend's cars accidentally hit the wrong pedal which that her plowing through a pediatric waiting ar area. thank goodness no one is seriously injured. > as you can see, we have bowl lards set up to prevent this kind of thing got in the one place a car could get through. >> the women were treated at the hospital and expected to be ok okay. >>> lawmakers in massachusetts this week are set to take up proposal banning conversion therapy for minors. supporters of the bill say it's about protecting children. those who oppose it say it's an tack on parental rights and religious liberty. on this bill unlike other that is have passed nationwide, it would add sexual orientation and gender identity conversion therapy to the state's child abuse laws. >> this law were to pass if that same, you know, woman were counselecounseled to feel comfon her own skin that would be labeled child abuse and she could be taken

the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. mr. markey: mr. president, i would like to thank my friend and colleague, senator hirono, for her words and her willingness to share how this bill could impact the millions of americans with preexisting conditions. and i along with everyone else in this chamber wish her the best and speedy recovery so that she can continue to fight for the people of hawaii and the people of the united states. after weeks of secret meetings, senate republicans released their health care legislation last week, and in many ways it is even worse than expected. it's no wonder the senate republicans kept this legislative malpractice hidden behind closed doors. for working families and the elderly, for the disabled, for those suffering from opioid addiction, this legislation is a death sentence. this bill takes a ma chet ee -- machete to medicaid. it abandons people with preexisting conditions. it punishes grandma and grandpa who live in a nursing home, including 25,000 seniors in massachusetts nursing homes who are on medi

we saw that in massachusetts. obamacare taxes people just for their very existence if you do not buy coverage. guest: i think the caller asked an excellent question. what kind of coverage give people have before the affordable care act? many people had plans that would not coverage the care they needed when they needed it. coverage because they could've been denied coverage because they were a woman or a victim of domestic abuse, pre-existing conditions. before.the world we had it is a world no one should want to go back to. when we talk about repealing this bill, i think it is important to remember the caller's question. what was the world like back then? we really want to go back or do we want to go forward on a bipartisan basis to keep premiums and deductibles down? -- the aca gave us millions more with health care, and if we could come together with bipartisan solutions, i think we can take care of them and get more. sam berger and chris jacobs, you can find them both on

the opioid fund is pocket change for a crisis that took 2000 lives in massachusetts, 33,000 lives across the country and if people were dying from opioid addiction at the same rate they were dying in massachusetts, that would be $100 in people a year, two vietnam war a year dying from opioid addiction, they are going to cut the funding for treatment for these families. it will be a death sentence for these individuals if they do not have access to the funding. so the formula of this bill is simple. first, increase the cost of care so working families pay more. second, decrease the quality of care for seniors and the sick. and finally, hand over hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest people in our country. billions in tax breaks to people who don't need some, who don't deserve them, paid for by people who can't afford it, healthcare heartlessness. to add insult to injury, it will devastate already strapped state budgets which may be forced to raise taxes or cut other benefits like education or housing assistance to make up for the billions of dollars states will l

i meant massachusetts. i was thinking about chris collins, who spoke earlier this morning on "morning joe" about how damaging it's going to be to his state. for you, you've been in congress for a long time. you know mitch mcconnell. while we talk about this being an intramural battle between republicans, you know how skilled he is. can mitch mcconnell push this thing through? >> well, again, i don't know the answer to that question. but i do know that it's the job of the american people and the democrats to raise the degree of difficulty for him to be able to accomplish the goal. and the more that we're able to explain how he is going to rip coverage away from people who need opioid addiction treatment, rip coverage away from people who have cancer, who have diabetes, who have heart disease, to make it possible to then package all of the money for a tax break for the wealthiest billionaires in america is the more difficult his dilemma is going to become. that is going to be hour job for the rest of this wee
