This month marks the 10year anniversary of the Affordable Care act, which expanded Health Care Coverage to millions of americans including those with preexisting conditions. However, the a. C. A. Has also been undermined in the last decade with the latest attempt originating from my home state of tech as. Texas which has refused to expand medicaid even though the state has the highest uninsured rate in the nation and the Trump Administration, they argue that e entire law should be dismantled. With the Supreme Court announcing they will hear the case, thousands are living with the threat of health care being taken away. If the Supreme Court invalidates the a. C. A. , 20 million americans will lose their coverage. At a time when we are confronting a Public Health emergency because of coronavirus, we should be looking to bolster Health Care Coverage and protect health care providers, not tear it away from communities around the nation who need it the most.

The speaker pro tempore without objection the gentleman is recognized for one minute. With saudi arabia and russia going through absurd measures to drive the United States out of the energy market,s that prime opportunity to ensure we have demand for American Energy made right here at home. That is why im saddened to see pennsylvanias governor publicly oppose legislation that would incentivize the potential creation of two new petrochemical facilities in pennsylvania. The United States generally and pennsylvania in familiars in particular has benefited from Homegrown Energy pruck. The Natural Gas Industry in pennsylvania has invested in local communities, improved educational opportunities, lowered energy costs and boosted our National Security through energy independence. But we cannot allow foreign countries, especially those who do not share our value, drive us out of the energy market. By supporting energy and fertilizer manufacturing tax credit and bringing jobs, investment and local demand for local gas, pennsylvania could invest in your countrys future an our National Security by ensuring a local market for local energy resources.

Up with year ago almost today, this house of representatives passed h. R. 1, the for the people act, a transformative anticorruption and clean elections bill. That would give people their voice back in their own democracy, it would fix gerrymandering, it would fix vote, it would fix ethics, it would protect the ballot box and push back against foreign interference and foreign information coming into our campaigns. Mr. Sarbanes and it would lift up the voices of average americans competing with big money here in washington. It would change the status quo so every american would feel their voice count heres and their opinion matters and thats how we make policy. Unfortunately, mitch mcconnell, the majority leader in the United States senate, has refused to bring h. R. 1 to the floor of the United States senate. One whole year of folding his arms at the gates of our democracy and saying to the American People, you shall not pass. Were not going to be deterred. Were not going to be diverted and were not going to be defeated. Were going to keep pressing on to pass h. R. 1 for the people an restore the voices of the American People. I yield back.

She was a lone competitor to make the championship in their inaugural year. She finished her first run in 1 13 and narrowed that time by clocking a run of 1 09. 6 which finished a full second faster than the second place leader in the giant slalom.

Ms. Jackson lee ive always said that the role of the federal government is an umbrella on a rainy or stormy day. The nation now faces a storm of coronavirus and we should be the umbrella and be prepared and not panic. It is imperative that one, we provide widespread information on just the basics of how americans can care for themselves. Ive organized a Bipartisan Task force for the coronavirus that includes emergency doctor with experience, dr. Ruiz and our colleague congressman fitzpatrick from pennsylvania dr. Ruiz from california. We want to emphasize an opportunity for members to talk of these issues within their Congressional District and try to ensure the American People are well taken care of. Unfortunately the administration got a very slow start. In a hearing we just had, one state had the ability to test only 472 people, another state had the ability to test only 350. Obviously we need to be able to ramp up the number of test kits to help the American People and we need the equipment to protect our medical professionals. Madam speaker, i end by saying, as hospitals face a crisis, clinics face a crisis, the American People must look to the federal government to do their job correctly, i yield back.
