My Statement on The Passage of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill in the House

“While the American people slept, Republicans passed the largest cut to healthcare in our nation’s history. Their Big Ugly Bill is an attack on their own constituents, it is an attack on children, veterans, the disabled, and our most vulnerable, and it is an attack on the less fortunate, all in the name of serving the ultra-rich.”

“Americans are not falling for Republican propaganda about so-called waste and fraud. This was a ruse to rip medicine out of the hands of sick children to fund tax breaks for their obscenely wealthy puppet masters, and the audacity of my colleagues across the aisle to pretend otherwise is nothing but an insult.

“House Democrats stood in the breach and voted unanimously against this villainous scheme, but the combined efforts of a sadistic GOP and the pressure campaign of their despicable president pushed their assault over the edge. As a result, Americans nationwide are now waking up in fear for their lives and livelihoods.

“We already knew House Republicans are utterly subservient to President Trump, but to see so many of them defy their own principles and on-the-record positions just to avoid the wrath of one man is simply shameful. At every step, they’ve aided and abetted his ruthless, careless, and inhumane agenda of harm against the American people, all while blowing out the deficit they periodically pretend to care about. Truly, it is terrifying to witness just how willing House Republicans are to partake in the planned obsolescence of Congress as a co-equal branch of government.

“I cannot stress the devastating impacts this bill will have on hospitals and nursing homes around the country. Their lies and cruelty will cause detrimental consequences to the 14 million Americans who will now lose access to essential healthcare services, the millions of children and families who will now lose their SNAP benefits for food security, and the millions of women who now will lose access to the proper maternal healthcare they need just to survive.

“I pray the Senate sees this ridiculous and reprehensible bill for what it is, and takes a stand to stop it.”
