00:00Mr. Speaker, I request unanimous consent to address the House for one minute and revise and extend my remarks.
00:07Without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute.
00:10Mr. Speaker, of all the titles I hold, the most important is Mom.
00:17Like fierce fighting mothers across this country, we want a better future, a safer future for our children.
00:25Like Tiffany George, a courageous mother in Hood River who has two beautiful children, Wiley and June.
00:33Wiley, her youngest, was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder at 18 months.
00:39Very quickly, Tiffany and her husband were overwhelmed with medical bills, doctor visits, therapies, medical equipment, and hospital visits.
00:49Ten hospital visits almost put them into bankruptcy. Medicaid was a lifeline.
00:55Without Medicaid, Wiley's lifesaving medications would cost $9,000 a month. $9,000.
01:03Democrats are united against this cruel Republican budget because we are willing to fight for families, for their future, for their health.
01:14Without food stamps, without health care, children like Wiley will suffer. Families will be pushed to the brink.
01:22I am here fighting every day for Tiffany, for Wiley, and every mother and American family who deserves that stability.
01:31We must fight this awful Republican budget bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield that.
01:38Representative yields back. For what purpose does a representative from Wisconsin seek recognition?
01:44Representative yields back to our needs.
