I have a marvelous, wonderful district that I take great pride in
representing. It is one of the largest agricultural areas in the
country. It has significant wealth, but, sadly, it has significant
poverty. It is the combination of those two that make it a place where
immigrants have come for decades--immigrants past and immigrants
present--to make a better life for themselves. Mr. Speaker, 19,000 individuals in my district have received
financial assistance and have been able to purchase coverage through
the Covered California marketplace, and 121,000 individuals in my
district are now covered by the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid
expansion.
