Watch now   BREAKING: Tom Suozzi Just Gave The Speech that Republicans Were Dreading Democratic Wins Media Dec 11 Rep. Tom Suozzi just gave a one-minute House floor speech to call on President Trump and Republican leaders to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, framing the issue as a test of whether Congress can still solve basic problems together. Suozzi argued that letting the enhanced subsidies expire would mean higher premiums for millions of families – something he said neither party should accept. Suozzi has been working to build a bipartisan bloc willing to force a vote on extending the subsidies. The speech marked his latest effort to get ten Republicans to sign onto a discharge petition – an unusual, public break with leadership that would allow the bill to come to the floor even if GOP leaders try to block it. One thing is clear – Suozzi has raised the pressure on Trump and House Republicans at a moment when healthcare looks like it could spike by thousands of dollars a month for millions of Americans. The strategy is simple: make extending the subsidies a bipartisan layup, and dare Republicans to say no to lower healthcare costs in an election year. Thank you, Rep. Suozzi, for keeping up the work for the American people.
