BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. DeLAURO. I would ask my House Republican colleagues: Have you no shame?

This bill hands $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires and the biggest corporations. It takes healthcare aware from 17 million Americans. People will die, and 42 million Americans will go hungry. This bill triggers $500 billion in Medicare cuts. It increases the budget deficit by $3.3 trillion.

President Trump and House Republicans have abandoned their promise to lower the cost of living. They are making it worse.

I would say to my Republican colleagues: Have the moral courage to oppose this bill. The consequences of this vote will come due. They will not wait until next November. It will come tomorrow, and every day after, and every phone call and letter that your office answers. When your constituents tell you they cannot find health coverage or afford groceries, and they ask what you have done to help, I hope you have the moral courage to tell them the truth; that you did nothing. Vote ``no.''
