mr. boyles and mr. jeffries raise a good point regarding the structure of the tax credit, in particular. i will address that in my amendment 11. amendmentity of the is illustrated in the cbo's report. they entitled the report, anti-surrounding the amendments. how the lawpredict would actually be indicated. i distinctly remember president obama certifying to the nation that we see an average of $25,000 drop health care system. premiums arerage of 25% last year with bigger increases expected. i distantly remember president obama certifying to the nation that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. in fact, millions of americans lost their plans and were forced onto the obamacare exchanges. one third of our counties have no choice at all. there is only one provider and in another third, only two providers. i distinctly remember this abo -- the cbo certified that 20 million americans would enroll in obamacare by 2017, and only 11 million people did. it was famously said, predictions are difficult, if

i yield back. >> i now yield one minute to mr. boyle. >> thank you. i can't help note that there's a terrible irony about this trumpcare bill. we just went through the election like many places around the western world in which blue-collar families like the one that i was born and raised in, who have been suffering for 20, 30 years standing still finally were looking for something different. we are sick and tired of being ignored by washington d.c. you've had a populist uprising throughout the western world, and for three years stagnant incomes. so what do our friends in the majority do you finally take care of them wax they offer us a bill that actually gives a record tax cut to those making over $10 million a year. i didn't quite believe it when i first heard about it so i read the language. if you are a ceo of a health insurance company who on average makes about $13 million a year, you'll get an aggregate a $400 million tax break, some populist. i yield back. >> yield one minute to ms. jayapal. >> thank you for your leadership to prevent this unpr

mr. boyle and mr. jeffries raise a good point regarding the structure of the tax credit in particular and i'm going to address that in my amendment number 11. but the absurdity of the motion is clearly illustrated in the cbo is own report. they may have missed it. they devoted an entire section of that report entitled uncertainty surrounding the estimates and what statement they can't predict how federal agencies and states that insurers and employers come individual doctors and hospitals would react to the law and they can't predict how the law would actually be implemented. i distinctly remember president obama certifying to the nation that we would see an average $2500 drop in the cost of her health care premiums. instead we've seen a $4300 increase in those premiums. obamacare averaged premiums are up 25 25% last year, still biggr increases expected. i distinctly remember president obama certifying to the nation that if you like your plan you couldeep ur plaintiff in fact, millions of americans los

mr. boyle: but we all know that under this bill, that's just code for survival of the fittest. economic darwin i'm. -- darwinism. let me bring this a little closer to home for me. thanks to trumpcare, 36,700 of my constituents covered by the a.c.a.'s medicaid expansion now stand to lose life-saving coverage. here's one of them. constituent maura mcgrath a 17-year-old with down syndrome. her parents, joe and rita, know firsthand why medicaid is so important. medicaid has been critical to keeping their daughter alive and saving their families from bankruptcy. even though joe and rita both work the cost of maura's care is too expensive to afford on their own, not to mention rita is a breast cancer survivor and joe suffers from parkinson's disease. medicaid provides the mcgraths the peace of mind, knowing maura will receive the care she needs and they aren't alone to fend for themselves, given the tough hand they've been dealt. mr. speaker, for maura and everyone in my district, say no to trumpcare. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from tennessee. mrs. black:

mr. boyle: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding the time. mr. speaker, with exactly zero hearings on the topic, our republican friends have now revealed their trumpcare plan. just to remind everyone what president trump said during the campaign and promised, he said that his republican plan would, quote, have insurance for everybody and that it will be, quote, far less expensive and far better than what we have today. well, now we actually have the plan out, and what does it do? it kicks 20 million americans off their health insurance. it sharply increases out-of-pocket costs for millions of american families. it rations care for millions of americans on medicaid. it includes massive cuts to medicaid. it would make maternity care much more expensive, but don't worry, there is good news. if you are a c.e.o. of a health care company and you make on average, as they do, somewhere between $13 million and $14 million, the tax increases that were leveled on you six years ago will now be repealed. so congratulations. those folks benefit, but 20 million

because the laws of physics, chemistry, and boyle aren't going -- biology aren't going away and the day of reckoning that they have paid for inevitably will come. mr. president, we in the senate have a duty to the american people to find a way to combat climate change. i realize this body will need help in that task. we will need help from the business community which can apply its understanding of market forces and risk analysis to this challenge, and it would help if the fossil fuel industry would focus on the long-term health of its shareholders rather than on short-term gain. the fossil fuel industry should stand down the relentless political opposition that has maintained to any climate solution and it should stand down the phony climate denial operation it continues to support. it will take all of us coming together, companies, investors, regulators, governments, citizens, republicans, and democrats to achieve donald trump's once stated goal of combating the catastrophic and irreversible effects of climate change. his quote, catastrophic and irreversible effects of climate change. i did not misquote president trump, although he was donald tr
