But this bill doesn't just cut coverage and hike premiums all for a
tax cut for the wealthy. It codifies a worldview by this administration
that is dead set on dividing America along the lines of the god of your
prayers, whom you love, where you come from, and your fate and fortune. We see it in their tax plan, in their budget cuts, in immigration
policy, and now in health care, a worldview that scapegoats the
struggling and the suffering, that sees fault in illness, and that
rejects the most basic universal truth of the human existence, which is
that every single one of us one day will be brought to our knees by a
diagnosis we didn't expect, a phone call we can't imagine, and a loss
we cannot endure. So we take care of each other because, but for the grace of God,
there go I one day, and we hope we will be shown that mercy, too. It is
the ultimate test of the character of this country confronting our
Chamber today: not the power we give the strong, but the strength with
which we embrace the weak.
