with us to approve the health-care system for the american people. also, we will be driving down the costs. we will deliver relief to american workers, families, and small businesses who are being crushed by obamacare, by increasing freedom, choice, and opportunity for the american people. i encourage democrats to work thank you very much. ms. bustos: i am cheri bustos. i come from america's heartland. for 17 years as a journalist, i asked the tough questions. later i worked at a nonprofit health system where i helped families get the care they needed. today, i am proud to represent the more than 7000 square miles and 14 counties in illinois. i learned early on about the importance of looking people in the eye, hearing their stories, and telling them the truth, even

if it is not easy. when it comes to the washington republicans health-care bill, it is an ugly truth. they are calling it the american health care act. they should call it the big breaks for billionaires act. you pay more, you get less, while billionaires get all the breaks. for years, we have heard one promise after another from washington. president trump said it very clearly, he told you directly, he would deliver insurance for everybody. that is a direct quote. for seven years now, washington republicans guaranteed they would repeal and replace. this week, they were forced to put their cards on the table and it turns out, they have been bluffing. when you get past the smoke and mirrors, it is clear they dealt america a bad hand. it means less coverage and higher costs for working families, seniors, the disabled, and children.

your deductibles and co-pays are too high already. their plans make it worse. insurance companies charging you 30% more if your coverage lapses. making older americans pay five times more than others. older americans will pay five times more. making older americans pay five $170 billion from the medicare trust fund. it means putting rural hospitals and small clinics on life support. taking coverage away from 10 million americans, including farmers, factory workers and hard-working families across illinois. just like trump university, their bill is a scam. washington republicans found a way to give massive tax breaks to the ceo's of health insurance companies as well as to america's billionaires.

we're back to those days again. the 400 richest americans are each going to get a $7 million tax break every single year. even though that is not in alternative fact, it sure is unbelievable. we need a little midwestern sensibility to solve the challenges we face. we need to work together to make prescription drugs more affordable. the fact is, the proposal would take us in the wrong direction. as one of 12 democrats from a congressional district that donald trump won, i'm here to tell you that the tide has turned. men and women from all backgrounds are coming together and demanding accountability from washington. they want leaders who will stand up and fight for them. we are ready to stand up for the values that unite us and fight to get real results for hard-working families.

make your voice heard right now. get active in your community and work with us to build a better future for our children, seniors, and families. together, we can and we will protect the economic and security for all americans. thank you. >> yes, they have very nice lifestyles. they have tons of money, but i think those who make it to there are not primarily motivated by money. they want to have standing and status. they want to be respected and want to have our. power. >> sunday night, beyond global founder and ceo discusses her book, how the financial elite and their networks move our world. >> i think many see what is wrong with the system but one of the key questions i ask -- do they hold the system presenter
