no issues more important to the people of america than their health, and the health of their families. and in my opinion, no issues are the health care of america's event accessibility and affordability. the aca repeal legislation recently passed by house republicans, without a angle democratic vote -- without a single democratic vote, would have devastating effects on families all across the country. president trump pushed hard and relentlessly for its passage. recently, however, he called the bill "mean." president obama proposed the aca, he hosted a bipartisan, bicameral town hall type roundtable in the blair house. it was broadcast, in real-time, was-span, and when the bill introduced in the house, it went to three committees that debated

its pros and cons extensively. republicans and democrats offered scores of amendments and many of them were accepted. as house majority whip at the time, and when the bill was debated on the floor, i called it the civil rights act of the 21st century. i gave it the moniker because the aca outlaws many forms of discrimination in health care. it almost discrimination against women were often charge more for health care coverage than me in. -- men. it allowed dissemination against people with pre-existing conditions. the aca repeal bill to house toublicans passed and sent the senate would rip away health care from 23 million americans, and raise costs and rollback protections for millions more. now commence and republicans are

it does not have to be this way. democrats are eager to work with our republican colleagues to deliver accessible and affordable polity health care to all americans, but republicans must set aside the repeal efforts. that it isrvent hope the path we choose going forward. they can for listening and god bless. today on book tv, that will be a roundtable. >> these ladies right here, i remember being a young lady in washington, marched for us, talked for us when we did not have voices and basically let us know we count, we matter in a time when many of us -- what did
