I'm hearing from people who are looking at a tripling or a quadrupling of their health insurance premiums. People cannot afford that, and as a result, people will lose their health care. Further, If we were to agree with the Republican proposal to pass their clean resolution, it would mean that 15 million Americans will next year be thrown off the health care they currently have because in Trump's big beautiful bill, the Republicans made massive cuts to Medicaid. And there are studies out there and this point is not being made enough. There are studies out there that show that some 50,000 of our fellow Americans lower income and working Class people will die unnecessarily every year because of that reality. (02:47–03:08)
