Speaker, today 9 million children are at risk of
losing their access to healthcare and millions of parents are losing
sleep as funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program expires. Community health centers across the country are at risk of steep
cuts, forcing them to lay off medical professionals and turn away
thousands of patients as their funding expires. DREAMers, who know no other home than America, are at risk of
deportation as their DACA status expires. Military families, who serve a nation at war, are at risk of going
without pay as government funding expires. But instead of passing legislation to ensure children have access to
healthcare, to keep community health centers open, to protect our
DREAMers, and to support military families, the majority is too focused
on cutting taxes for the wealthiest individuals in America.
