Mr. President, I strongly oppose this cruel bill,\nwhich will unduly harm Marylanders and people across our country. The\nCongressional Budget Office has found that this bill would kick a\nmillion more people off of their healthcare coverage compared to the\nHouse bill. That means this bill--a bailout for billionaires--will come\nat the cost of 17 million losing their healthcare coverage. More\nspecifically, the bill would kick 246,000 Marylanders off of their\nhealth coverage. Senate Republicans are making a policy choice to harm\nmillions of Americans to benefit the wealthiest Americans.\n  Altogether, the Senate bill cuts more than $1 trillion in healthcare\nfor Americans. These cuts would hurt my home State of Maryland. In\nMaryland, Medicaid covers nearly 1.5 million people. That is a quarter\nof our population. This bill could cause over 160,000 Marylanders to\nlose coverage over the next 10 years. It is not beautiful to them.\n  More veterans live in Maryland than any other State. Thousands of\nveterans depend on Medicaid to cover gaps in VA coverage for essential\nservices like mental health care and long-term services and support. It\nis not beautiful to them.\n  Undoing enrollment policies will also increase Medicare premiums for\nover 1 million seniors. And because they won't be able to afford\nessential medications, death rates among seniors will rise.\n  New redtape requirements in Medicaid will terminate health coverage\nfor up to 1.5 million children nationwide, and another 400,000 children\nwill lose coverage because of these cuts that undo improvements to\nenrollment processes.\n  I heard the fear and concern in a townhall this week. I have looked\ninto the eyes of Marylanders terrified about losing their coverage.\n  The immediate coverage losses are not the only thing in this\nheartless bill that will imminently harm Marylanders. This bill will\ncause hospitals to close. Specifically, it will cause rural hospitals,\nchildren's hospitals, and hospitals that serve low-income populations\nacross the State of Maryland to close.\n  Thus, this bill will have long lasting, and devasting impacts to my\nState of Maryland. I hereby enter into the record a motion to commit,\nwhich is very simple. It would prevent Medicaid cuts to children's\nhospitals, disproportionate share hospitals, and rural hospitals--\nprotecting the most vulnerable among us and preserving the access to\ncare for my State of Maryland.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2025-06-30-pt1-PgS4081-5"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 21.745174890384078, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
