Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I am so proud to support the Build Back Better Act. It is time for us to pass this historic legislation that invests in our communities, our workers, our children, and our families, while asking the wealthiest among us, who have benefited from our growing economy, to pay their fair share.

These investments will lower the costs of childcare, which has kept women out of the labor force. It invests in our future workforce through our children. It helps us tackle the climate crisis, bolsters resilience, and creates economic and job opportunities and good-paying jobs for millions. I could go on and on and on.

Mr. Speaker, I want to end by talking about the millions of people who depend upon insulin, something that has been a bipartisan issue. It is going to lower those costs to just $35 a month. That is reason enough to pass the Build Back Better Act.
