one of these people was enna from exeter, new hampshire. enna said, quote, i am self-employed and purchase health insurance through the marketplace in new hampshire. the a.c.a. has given me the opportunity to purchase affordable health insurance for myself and my family of four. she explained, quote again, we were unable to maintain insurance consistently prior to the a.c.a., and even when we did have it, critical preventative care for myself as a woman was not covered by our previous policy. she said that trumpcare would, quote, make our health coverage less comprehensive and less affordable. i am certain that our risk of financial and/or health catastrophe would be significantly greater under trumpcare. mr. president, there is no doubt that we should all be working together in order to improve the affordable care act, build on the progress that we have made, and lower health care costs for all of our citizens. and i'm willing to work with any of my colleagues on bipartisan solutions in order to make that happen. but we know that trumpcare

ben bradshaw, the labour mp in exeter since 1997. ican i can barely remember that year!e politicians, our voters first of all. what word would you use to describe politicians right now? shady. disindisingeneralous. dishonest. i'll come back with one word! laughter i have more than one word. no, give mea i have more than one word. no, give me a some if you can't contain it to one. in need of one. yeah, i strongly believe they're divided. you can see that throughout their parties, notjust in the conservative party, but also in the labour party. too divided. what about you ? labour party. too divided. what about you? i would say unavailable. unavailable definitely. meaning, what you can't get access to them? they don't come across that way. they don't come across that way. they come across from a come across as if they're from a completely different world. how do you react to those adjectives? i think it's understandable that people would think that way after some of the things that happened in british politics over the past few years. i'm not at all surprised. i think we h

be cooler, so they turned up skirts and be cooler, so they turned up in skirts at this academy in exetere nice breeze his skirt had afforded him. it makes sense. if you do it en masse it is hard to punish them. it is a fair point well made. talking of points made, it isn't often that the fa listen to joey barton. he was banned for 18 months for 1200 bets he placed on football. he said you cannot punish me when you are in bed with betting companies because the fa had lucrative deals with betting companies. now they have entered a deal with ladbrokes and they are ending financial associations with bookmakers. it seems joey barton's advice has been heeded. bookmakers are advice has been heeded. bookmakers a re closely advice has been heeded. bookmakers are closely involved. and very exciting, the start of the women's cricket world cup, hosted here in england, england start against india tomorrow in derby. if you are looking for players to watch, nat is a fantastic player. australia are the favourites. england have won the world cup both times before it has been held in their own backyard.“

this is maura fay of exeter, new hampshire. i talked about her last night when i was talking about the impact of this republican bill on women's health. maura writes, my husband and i are self-employed. before the a.c.a., we were paying rates that were simply unsustainable for a middle-class family like ours. when i was pregnant in 2013, we were forced to pay a maternity rider of an additional $822 a month. i'm worried about the rollbacks and regulations around essential health benefits, especially since so many of them impact women. maternity coverage shouldn't come with an additional $800 a month price tag. well mr. president, here in washington, some folks seem to think that repealing the affordable care act is all about politics. it's about winning this debate. but for ordinary people in new hampshire, people like maura, like the mccabe family, like all the people that i have shown pictures of this afternoon, for ordinary people in new hampshire and across america, repealing the affordable care act isn't about politics. for
