mrs. dingell related to medicaid. mr. price: the gentlelady is recognized for six minutes. mrs. dingell: i'm offering a simple amendment that would reject the cuts to medicaid over 10 years that is contained in the budget resolution we are considering today. my amendment will ensure that seniors, persons with disabilities and working families do not lose access to critical health care and long-term care services by reversing the cuts to the base medicaid program contained in this resolution. medicaid is the workhorse of our health care system. it's a critical part of the safety net that provides essential health care and long-term care services to 69 million americans. it is not the most glamorous program but it has been very successful in supporting the most vulnerable among us. medicaid beneficiaries include poor children and their families, someone with cerebral palsy or m.s. or autism or a senior who needs help getting dressed in the morning or feeding themselves. turning medicaid into a block grant, as this budget proposes is not the answer. it does not nothing to reduce hea

dingell: thank you mr. chairman. rep. grisham: while i appreciate the dual eligible programs in states like tennessee, health care has been under constant litigation and has reduced services. the issue is, it is expensive. the issue is, it is expensive. there are 49 million caregivers spending more than $500 billion in care and support. states have the flexibility and they don't take it up because it means years of waiting for medicaid waivers or nursing home bias. nursing home bias is 100,000 per person on average. we could do the right thing here by saving money. average home care is something more like $30,000. the support families to take care of each other. rep. price: question is about agreeing to the amendment put forth by this dingell -- by ms. dingell. all those in favor -- in the chair, the noes have it. recorded vote is requested. clerk: mr. garrett? no. mr. diaz-balart no. mr. cole no. mr. mcclintock, mr. mcclintock no. ms. black, no. mr. woodall, no. ms. blackburn no. ms. hartzler, no. mr. wright, no. mr. sus

mr. dingell. we can compete with any one in the world if only we la get out of the waflt our government with its outdated, uncompetitive and burdensome tax code with our overbearing regulations stifle economic progress in this country. i think business is telling us very clearly what they want, and it's not more government programs. if you look at this slide, once again, this is about 35 oecd countries, we're on the far right, the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world. if you look at the first ten or so, they're on ragt at about half the rate we are. so what you're telling our american manufacturers is if you want to continue to operate here, you're going to have to carry double the tax burden. your government costs twice as much if you operate here as if you operate in any one of a these other ten oecd countries. next slide please? if you'll look here this is the small business index. these are the these are manufacturers and other businesses. small businesses create 70% of the jobs i

mr. dingell you saw last night a large number of well targeted and precise airstrikes went end and a beginning to support the iraqi security force operations that are unfolding right now. that i think is where we would leave the level of operational detail. the united states is deeply involved in this operation now. we are deeply involved because it is consistent with our relationship with iraq over all inside iraq but it is also specifically as a result of the request of the iraqi government and the iraqi security forces to assist them in tikrit. >> welcome is in the united states interest to say what i would call a failing iranian strategy? i worry about iran's role in iraqi military operations because what does that portend a political future for iraq? >> i don't believe at all that we are in our efforts at this moment saving or attempting to salvage a failed iranian strategy. the intent of course is to support the of body government and support the security forces and liberation of not insignificant urban center and population center with the idea ultimately of driving daesh out of the pro

mrs. dingell. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. dingell: i rise in strong support of the democratic alternative budget, which we are discussing today which addresses the many issues that working families are dealing with but there is one provision in particular that i want to highlight in long-term care. as the ranking member knows and too many americans know long-term care is a concern that nearly every american family is a -- or real confront in the coming years. we have made great strides to improve our health care system, but what we have a strong need for is a comprehensive long-term plan how seniors can get the help they need for basic tasks of living, like meal preparation, eating, bathing and getting dressed. too many seniors today are relying on a complex disconnected system full of barriers that doesn't work. it's a system designed for the 20th century while we are living in the 21st century. addressing it will save money and can improve the quality of life for many. so to address this problem the democratic budget contain

mrs. dingell: mr. speaker, as the house begins to prepare to discuss the next year's fiscal budget we need a budget that's for hardworking americans, not one that puts our families in jeopardy. the g.o.p. budget ends medicare as we know it cuts pell grants decimates head start, and doubles down a policy that put working families further behind. and one thing that we all need to fear in this budget is the harmful arbitrary budget caps on both our nondefense and defense programs. these caps hurt all americans and make our military vulnerable. our military leadership has made clear that the budget caps are harming our national security. michigan is an important northern border state, and too many places like the national guard base in michigan, our men and women in uniform face dramatic cuts to the critical training and equipment that they need to defend our country. we can't afford more unrealingsic budget gimmicks or plans to just kick the can down the road. we need to take up a serious budget which the
