00:01On health care, well, we're at the start of an extremely important week for Donald Trump
00:05and for Republicans when it comes to our nation's health care crisis.
00:10On Thursday, the Senate will vote on Democrats' bill for a clean, three-year extension of
00:15the ACA premium tax credits.
00:18The question Republicans face this week is very simple.
00:21Will they support our bill and lower people's premiums, or will they block our bill and
00:25send premiums through the roof?
00:29That's what's at stake on the vote this Thursday.
00:32Leader Thune just gave a speech blasting ACA.
00:36But Leader Thune, you blast ACA, well, where's the Republican plan?
00:41Republicans have no plan.
00:43They are so divided between themselves, they can't even put a plan together.
00:48We Democrats do have a plan, and it's this bill for a clean, three-year extension.
00:54This is the only way to solve this problem now, before premiums go way up and in January,
01:02people are faced with such high bills.
01:05It's preventing costs from going.
01:07Our bill prevents costs from going up right now.
01:11Here is the reality.
01:13Most Americans want to see these credits extended.
01:17Leader Thune blasts the ACA, but has no plan.
01:21And amazingly, he has no plan when 55% of Trump voters, of MAGA voters, want to see the credits
01:33extended.
01:34So, I urge my Republican colleagues not to follow Leader Thune.
01:42You have one chance, Republican colleagues, to get this right.
01:47But left to their own devices, Republicans don't have a snowball's chance in hell of fixing
01:53this crisis, because they're so divided.
02:00Even the plans they claim are reasonable can't move forward, because one half of the Republicans
02:05want one thing, a third of the Republicans want another thing, a sixth of the Republicans
02:09want a third thing, and they can't agree.
02:14The contrast is stark.
02:17Republicans are divided.
02:19Democrats are united.
02:20We want to extend these credits, it's the right thing to do for the American people as
02:25they stand on the edge of the cliff.
02:27And meanwhile, one of the biggest failures on leadership on healthcare has been Donald
02:32Trump.
02:34As our country faces a crisis that will touch the lives of millions of people, he's sitting
02:39on the sidelines.
02:41For months, we've urged him to meet with us, to talk with us, to come to an agreement
02:45on fixing ACA premiums.
02:48Instead, he's isolated himself in the White House, blasted the ACA on Truth Social while
02:53doing nothing, nothing to prevent this from happening, doing nothing to present a real
03:00plan.
03:02Republicans are nowhere on healthcare and the clock is ticking.
03:06Americans' livelihoods are at stake.
03:08Our healthcare system is at stake.
03:10The future of our hospitals, many of which will be overrun when people lose insurance,
03:14is also at stake.
03:16Republicans who claim to worry about healthcare costs have one last chance to act, and that
03:21is to join Democrats in supporting our bill for a clean three-year extension.
