Colleagues, the ugly truth about this so-called Big Beautiful bill is that it will kick 17
00:07
million Americans off their health care. This bill cuts almost a trillion dollars
00:13
from Medicaid and other health care programs by tying people up in red tape. Republicans will
00:19
tell you they're trying to improve Medicaid, but the truth is they're not. It is cruel and dishonest
00:26
to bury parents, kids, and seniors in paperwork and then blame them when they lose their health
00:32
care, all to further rig our tax code for the very wealthiest. This week I met with 30 nurses from
00:39
Delaware. Their patients couldn't come to D.C., so they did. They care for seniors and newborns,
00:46
families and the disabled, and they're asked to us, don't take health care away from tens of thousands
00:53
of Delawareans and millions of Americans. Colleagues, support this Coons Amendment to eliminate
00:59
cruel and unnecessary red tape and allow Americans to keep the health care they need and deserve.

Mr. President. I recognize a senator from Kansas. As I look at this, the senator's motion is on
01:17
work requirements. You know, back home we had a saying for people that had an aversion to work,
01:22
we called it an allergy to work. But my question is, don't you think a job brings value, that it
01:27
brings dignity? Do you not think that a job brings purpose and meaning to life? We have 7 million
01:32
healthy American men across this country working age that aren't working right now. So yes, we want
01:38
to encourage people to go back to work, but our bill, as you point out, actually preserves and protects
01:43
it for those groups. Our bill makes this stronger, financially stronger, so that we can protect it
01:47
and strengthen it for seniors and nursing homes, for people with disabilities, for pregnant women and
01:52
for children. Let's protect Medicaid for those who need it the most. I urge a no vote on this,
01:58
and I'll never apologize for encouraging people to go to work. The question occurs on the most
