WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-21) took to the House floor to oppose the newly released Republican Tax Plan.

Below, please find Rep. Frankel’s full remarks.

“Mr. Speaker, I stand against Republican efforts to give massive tax cuts to the wealthiest citizens and big corporations, while robbing the pockets of middle-class families and ransacking Medicare and Medicaid.

My constituents are worried.

Just ask Marion, who uses Medicare to buy her costly diabetes drugs. Or Sherry, whose husband has Alzheimer’s and lives in a nursing home paid for by Medicaid.

Americans want a better deal – one that invests in infrastructure, education, and innovative research, and lowers the costs of things like child care and prescription drugs.

We want better jobs, better pay, and a better future - not more giveaways to hedge funds and conglomerates.

I yield back.”
