The CBO report confirms that, true to form, TrumpCare raises premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs, pushes 24 million Americans off their health care, imposes an age tax on Americans aged 50-64, and undermines Medicare. As bad as TrumpCare already was, the Manager’s Amendment is crueler to Medicaid recipients while handing billions more to the richest Americans.

I appreciate the opportunity to testify before the Rules Committee to join the AARP; the American Medical Association; hospitals; nurses and physicians; patient and consumer groups in condemning TrumpCare’s assault on hard-hardworking Americans. It’s worth noting: this Rules Committee meeting is the first and only time that House Republicans have allowed anything resembling direct testimony about TrumpCare’s consequences for the American people.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released this statement after Chairman Nunes' comments to the press following his meeting with President Trump at the White House:
"The unprecedented comments of Chairman Nunes are an act of diversion and desperation. The Chairman's highly irregular conduct with the White House raises serious questions about his impartiality, especially given his history as part of the Trump Transition team. Abandoning any pretense of bipartisanship, Chairman Nunes raced to the White House and to the press to perpetuate the Trump Administration's misinformation campaign.

TrumpCare is a merciless assault on working families across America. If Republicans get their way, children, seniors, Americans with disabilities and people struggling to overcome addiction will be pushed off their health coverage just to hand a massive new tax giveaway to billionaires.

Republicans’ manager’s amendment only confirms that TrumpCare is broken beyond fixing. The amendment shows Republicans are committed to making tens of millions of American families suffer for the sake of handing even bigger tax giveaways to billionaires.

Pelosi Statement on FBI Director’s Testimony on Trump-Russia Investigation, False Wiretapping Claims
March 20, 2017
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after FBI Director James Comey testified that there is ‘no evidence' of President Trump's claim to have been wiretapped by President Obama, and confirmed the existence of an FBI investigation into ties between Russia and Trump officials:
"The existence of a months-long FBI investigation into Trump officials' ties to the Russians confirms the necessity of a comprehensive, independent, bipartisan commission to bring the full truth to light. The possibility of Trump officials conspiring with a foreign adversary to influence a U.S. election represents a grave threat to our national security and our democracy, and the American people deserve answers.

As spectacular as the damage is to Americans’ health, the disastrous consequences of the Republican bill will ripple through the economy as well. Not only would Republicans’ TrumpCare bill destroy the health coverage of 24 million Americans, it will destroy nearly 2 million jobs across America.
