00:00Thank you Maxwell. The one big ugly law is a disaster for Central Florida. Record cuts to health care. Record cuts to nutrition. Record funding to double down on mass deportations. And record debt. All to fund tax breaks for billionaires that we can't afford.
00:25When you look at what's going to happen over the next two years with health care, it breaks my heart. First, we'll see this year, Obamacare rates go up between $1,500 to $15,000 per family. We have by far the largest Obamacare exchange in the nation.
00:414.6 million Floridians get their health care through the Affordable Care Act, including my district, which is the second most in the nation. And Max is in the top ten, too. In fact, all the top ten Obamacare districts are in Florida.
00:59Because we have a lot of folks who don't have employer-based health care, and they get it through the ACA.
01:04Then we'll see attacks on Medicaid. First, there'll be these new bureaucratic requirements that we've seen already in Georgia and Arkansas lead to massive amounts of people losing their health insurance.
01:18And just to make matters even crueler, the new ugly law doesn't allow folks who lose Medicaid to go on the ACA. It's just another level of cruelty and uninsurance.
01:31And if you have insurance through your employer, you're going to see that go up. Because when you have more uninsured, somebody has to pay for it. And so everybody's plans will go up.
01:41We're also going to see from nursing home care, deeply devastating cuts.
01:46Well, it's coming back on the couch. Grandpa's coming back. Because about a third to a half of our nursing home's budgets around here are from Medicaid.
01:56Also, kid care. A lot of people love kid care. It's been a smashing success. This two-page form you fill out at the school, your kid gets health insurance.
02:06Forty percent of the kids in our district get health insurance with kid care. Kid care is Medicaid. Medicaid is kid care. And we'll see a devastating cut to that for our kids.
02:16And then for our veterans and the disabled, we're also going to see cuts to solely these programs because they simply won't be able to get on to these programs.
02:25That drama you will see bear out next year, both with the requirements that are going to be added on, the bureaucratic requirements, and then the state, let's say, you're going to have to make those cuts next year for the following year.
02:37So I know who's going to be in Tallahassee next year to tell them hell no. Hell no. I know I'll be there. I know Max will be there, too.
02:45And then nutrition. About 50% of the families in my district, they get their health care through SNAP. These are families that are working poor, folks who are helping in so many different industries around here who are struggling to get ahead.
03:00In what world is having kids go hungry a positive for Central Florida for America?
03:06And then we see doubling down on mass deportations. $150 billion was allocated in the one big, ugly law for mass deportations.
03:15That's more than the U.S. Marines get. I know we have a Marine veteran here, Senator Torres.
03:20Thank you for your service, sir. Let's give him an applause for that.
03:23I know people who are in the Marines, they're struggling down on ice. They can't seem to deport cooks and landscapers, cleaning ladies and nurses quick enough.
03:36And it will destroy our economy, split families apart. They can't wreck our economy quick enough.
03:43And now this weekend we go down to alligator alcatraz. What an absolute dumb gimmick that is.
03:55Our state already had a dark history with the Dozier School for Boys having African American young men for nearly a century sent to the Panhandle.
04:04Many of them died. And now we thought that dark history was closed. Now we see it with predominantly young Hispanic men being sent down in places like that for nothing other than wanting to live a better life around here.
04:19It will hurt our economy. It will break up local families. And lastly, the national debt.
04:25This will add, including all the interest, $5.3 trillion to national debt. That is more than all the COVID relief combined.
04:32What it means is interest rates, even if the Fed lowers them, aren't going down.
04:37It's going to mean higher interest rates for mortgages, for auto loans, for small businesses.
04:41And that's why this big ugly law, despite what they're saying, actually leads to worse economic growth.
04:48Or at least the worst declining prosperity in our nation because they're mortgaging the future for tax rates for billionaires right now.
04:55Realmente en español, este gran feo proyecto de ley es un desastre por fuera central.
05:05Ahora, tenemos cuartos grandes para salud, cuartos grandes para comida y asistencia de comida.
05:17Y más fondos por un gran libertazio y gran deuda que va a ser un… va a afectar nuestro economÃa de una manera negativa.
05:31When I'm thinking about families who have Obamacare, Medicaid, and Medicare cuts, I should mention that,
05:40$500 billion in cuts to Medicare because the debt is so big, so it's going to affect our seniors too.
05:46We need to be united to fight against this new law because this will affect Hispanic families in a negative way.
05:57So we need to stand together and I'm thrilled to introduce a great champion of Orange County School Board, Angie Callow.
