00:00
The clerk will report.
00:02
Senator from Oregon, Mr. Wyden, moves to commit the Bill H.R. 1 to the Committee on Finance
00:07
with instructions to report back forthwith.
00:10
Mr. President, I ask that further reading of the motion be dispensed with.
00:14
Without objection.
00:16
Mr. President, this is a motion supported by all finance Democrats to send the bill
00:21
back to the Finance Committee to strike all the Medicaid cuts and ensure that big corporations
00:27
and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.
00:30
It is now clear that there is bipartisan opposition in the Senate to the Medicaid cuts in this bill.
00:39
That's because it's the biggest Medicaid cut in history and represents the largest transfer of wealth in history.
00:47
It is caviar over kids, hedge funds over health care, Mar-a-Lago over the middle class.
00:55
These Medicaid cuts are going to reach down into every corner of our nation's health care system.
01:00
As we've heard from rural America, rural hospitals will close their doors.
01:04
Seniors are going to lose care at home and be left with fewer nursing homes and fewer nurses.
01:10
Kids with disabilities will lose health care.
01:13
We saw them on the steps of the Capitol last night.
01:16
Never have I seen legislation focused on denying health care to eligible Americans.
01:22
This amendment is an opportunity to take these awful Medicaid cuts off the table and find another way forward.
01:29
I yield back.
01:30
Mr. President.
01:31
I recognize the Senator from Kansas.
01:33
Mr. President, good morning.
01:34
It's great to be here.
01:35
I just want to share with America the great work that Republicans have done on Medicaid,
01:40
that we're preserving it, we're protecting it, we're strengthening it for those who need it the most.
01:45
We're going to make sure that your seniors in nursing homes, that pregnant women, that children,
01:50
that people with disabilities have Medicaid in the future.
01:53
We are fiscally making Medicaid more sound.
01:56
You know, it's only in Washington, D.C. that you increase spending at a rate faster than inflation,
02:01
and you call it a cut.
02:02
So we're increasing spending on this legislation.
02:05
We're increasing funding for Medicaid.
02:07
We are preserving and protecting it for those who need it the most.
02:10
I urge everyone to vote no on this amendment.
02:15
Are you...
