the third point i would make edges the mueller report. and aueller team spent norma's amount of time on these very -- on these very questions of the president's bank dealings. they have come to a conclusion and that has been expressed in the mueller team, with how deeply they went into this, should be the better understanding we would have been getting documents directly from these institutions about things that have already been queried by special counsel that spent $30 million and a significant amount of time trying to get to the bottom of the question of the 2016 election in the president's business dealings and how they could interact. i think this is a deeply problematic approach and that is why i have been skeptical of this type of request. >> watch newsmakers with north carolina congressman chuck

mckinley sunday at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span. although all of our programs online at c-span.org or with the free c-span radio app. house did not release a weekly address from the president. senator jacky rosen gave the democratic address discussing health care and the affordable care act. sen. rosen: hello, i am senator jacky rosen and i am proud to represent nevada in the u.s. senate. last week, the trump administration took another heartless step in their ongoing efforts to sabotage our health care. request to formal strike down the entirety of our nation's health care law. regardless of people's opinions of the affordable care act, we know there is no single issue that matters more to hard-working families and health care. it is a personal issue. it affects each and every one of us. and we all know that one

diagnosis can change your life in an instant. parent,it is insuring a taking a baby tooth the pediatrician with an air infection or a family facing a cancer diagnosis -- they can depend on coverage for their loved ones. access to care is critical and must be protected. from las vegas to alco, i have met with countless nevadans who depend on access to quality and affordable care and yet, the trump administration is continuing its relentless our nationsrmining health care system by attempting to strip away critical protections for millions nationwide. talkingo longer just about stripping away protections for those with pre-existing conditions, as if that was not enough. or an even more dangerous territory than before. if our health care law completely is wiped out, we will see an end to the tax credits

that make coverage affordable for middle income families. an end for preventative care provided without a co-pay like health screenings and contraception's. an end to the ability for young adults, under age 26 to stay on their parents insurance and an end to expanded medicaid benefits which have helped more than 200,000 nevadans get coverage and millions more nationwide. if this administration has its way with in validating our health care law it would spell disaster for primary care providers who -- and for the hundreds of millions that rely on its protections. health care is one of the top kitchen table issues in nevada. i cannot even begin to count the number of nevadans who have shared how they would be affected by the court striking down protections in our health care system.

each day, these individuals tell me what it means not having to fear being denied coverage based on a pre-existing condition. nevadans alonen live with a pre-existing condition and nationwide, roughly one third of all americans live with a pre-existing condition. all know what is at stake if these individuals are denied access to care. in nevada, and across our country, we continue to face a shortage of physicians, particularly in primary care. we need to come together and work to help communities in rural areas gain greater access to health care services including through telehealth. plenty of ways that congress can work in a bipartisan way to improve the affordable care act. including supporting legislation to bring down skyrocketing drug

costs and improving access to telemedicine in our rural and underserved communities. but destroying the law and leaving americans at risk is simply unacceptable. , during my first few weeks as senator, i joined senator manchin in helping lead the effort to defend the constitutionality of the affordable care act. our revolution would direct the senate legal counsel to intervene in the federal court case where the aca and our health care system is under attack. and to defend our current law including those protections for pre-existing conditions. , during my first speech on the senate floor, i called for senate republican leaders to take up and pass this resolution to defend the constitutionality of the aca in court. unsurprisingly,

republicans locked my request. leader mcconnell would not even let us take a vote on it. he has refused to allow the senate to take a vote on a number of bills that have passed the house and that would help hard-working american families and workers most notably. legislation that passed the house this week that would enforce protections for people living with pre-existing conditions. we know that health care is not our only fight. every day, this administration shows us its true colors. whether it is by taking away access to affordable quality health care, advancing policies that undermine women's reproductive freedoms, or by implementing cruel immigration policies, that go against our american values. ,eparating immigrant families taking away children from their mothers arms -- we know in our

hearts this is not who we really are. as we gather this week to celebrate mother's day, let us commit to stopping these cruel and heartless policies. the long-term effects of these separations are immeasurable and likely to impact these children and their families for years to calm. faces manysenate challenges. but at a time of increasing political division and partisan gridlock, it is even more important for both sides to come together and make progress on issues that are impacting families across our country. because nevadans and americans torywhere are counting on us go above and beyond, to overcome the obstacles before us and to find common sense forward thinking solutions to the challenges for this new era.

to me to thet senate to protect their health care. that is what i am doing. to do.t i will continue and i hope that my senate colleagues will listen to the millions of americans who want politicians to stand up, protect their share and work together to solve problems instead of tearing down the critical protections that millions depend on. once, tv was simply three giant networks and a government supported service called pbs. in 1979, a small network is an unusual name rolled out a big idea. let viewers decide on their own what was important to them. c-span open the doors to washington policymaking for all to see. bringing you unfiltered content from congress and beyond. in the age of power to the people, this was true people power. in the 40 years since, the landscape has changed. there is no monolithic media, broadcasting has given way to --
