the apa is, please? >> oh, american psychiatric association. >> mm, yeah. >> the apa did another study on it, the americanic association, that came out just recently, and they said it's 15 times more so. if you do the numbers, it's between 180,000 and 210,000 a year. >> that's horrifying. i mean -- >> there's more men raped in the -- in the military... than in federal prisons. that's according to dod's numbers and, you know, comparing them to do the justice department's figures. >> so, what do we do, geri lynn? how do we fix this? how do we -- i mean, i know that a lot of the legislators -- and you've met with them 'cause we have pictures of you. >> mm-hmm. >> seeing him talking to jackie speier -- congresswomen jackie speier -- here is -- is really instrumental in leading this fight, but you're in the trenches. you're -- you're living this. what do we do? >> [ sighing ] what do we do? well, um, we keep the conversation going... by sharing with people about the topic. a lot of people still don't realize that this occurs in the military. >> they don't want to believe it. >> they don't want to believe it. t

it is the american academy of family physicians, the american academy of pediatrics who know what this will mean for the children of our country, the american psychiatric association, the federation of american hospitals, the american lung association, the cystic fibrosis foundation, the american nurse's association. every one of these organizations opposes the republican legislation. not bernie sanders but every major healthcare organization says do not go forward with this disastrous bill. this is what the aarp said recently the senate but was crafted in secrecy behind closed doors without a single hearing or open debate and it shows. the senate bill will hit millions of americans with higher costs and result in less coverage for them. aarp is adamantly opposed, it would allow insurance companies to charge older americans 5 times more for coverage than everyone else while reducing tax credits that make insurance more affordable. i ask all of my republican friends to think for a moment about the implications of this bill and what it means to your constituents when they lose the currently have. put yourself in their place. today you have health insurance but tomor

in short, this bill would be, according to the american psychiatric association, quote, particularly devastating to the millions of americans in need of mental health and substance use treatment. mr. speaker, these groups are not political organizations. they are doctors, they are health care professionals, they are patients, they're advocates who've dedicated their lives day and night to filling the gaps of a badly broken mental health system. take it from them. this is what trumpcare is offering our country. this is what they are trying to sell us at a time when we are losing nearly 100 americans a day to an opioid epidemic. this is what is being negotiated behind closed doors as we speak while the rest of us read reports that tell us the death toll from opioids could reach well over half a million people in the next decade. so let me be clear. you cannot advocate for comprehensive mental health reform and then stand on the opposite side of nearly every major mental health organization in this country. you can't claim that you are a champion and then gut funding for medicaid which i
