And while we look at some of those, one of those is allowing States to
look at going to a single-payer system, and we provide the pathway to
do that, to reduce costs and increase coverage so that even more people
can have that. We also expand access to mental health care--this is Mental Health
Awareness Month in this country, and we are making sure we are doing
that--and treatment for opioid addiction. We also have a humane and comprehensive immigration reform proposal. We are not talking about building walls at a time we should be talking
about building bridges. Instead, we are having sensible plans that
provide for full implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals program, the DACA program. We preserve funding for sanctuary cities, and we prohibit any funding
whatsoever to go to President Trump's wall. Those are just a few of the things that we have in this budget. When
you contrast those deep cuts to programs that help middle class
families and those aspiring to be in the middle class across the
country, when you contrast it with the proactive positive alternatives
we have in this budget, I think people will see that there truly is a
significant difference and why we don't have to settle for something
that is out there that is not going to take care of the working
families in this country.
