mr macron is a strong pro—european, that his approach. mr schultz is a strong european as well. but in italy four out of five of the biggest parties are now against the euro. they haven't as yet had an election this year. they might, we don't know. the east europeans are a different ball game too. it is quite difficult to see the way forward, with all these differences of opinion. one thing that seems to bring europe together right now is discussing brexit. curiously enough a lot of these populist movements might not win elections but they are dragging the debate on their side. as they did in holland. so we will see more eurosceptic elements being front and centre in a lot of these campaigns. the complexion of europe will change, even if they don't win... is it that whatever path they take, and it will not be our decision because apparently we won't be there, but whatever path europe takes is it in our interest, given that it is still our biggest market by a long way is it in our interest that it should succeed? but of course there is a tremendous disaster on the horizon, which

schultz. of course they are very different personalities. we already know where each are coming from and either of them would be wishing to be as constructive as the other on this particular issue. there might be differences of nuance, but that would be all. you do not see this dragging for years and years? no, i do not. if it was going to collapse, that would not happen at the end of two years. if god forbid that happens, that would happen in the first few months. we will know by the end of this year if there is anything serious, but i do not think that is likely at all. i have been involved in the european union as mrs thatcher's europe minister and then as foreign secretary for something like a0 yea rs. secretary for something like a0 years. when the european union is trying to find problems, it will find problems. when it is trying to find problems. when it is trying to find solutions, it will find solutions. probably all of the states, who all have democratically elected leaders, it is in

i want to thank my colleague, mrs. wasserman schultz for speaking about the wish sandwich. i grew up eating wish sandwiches. i know what they taste like. the unfortunate thing is that the american people have been eating wish sandwiches on health care for the last seven years under obama care. the one thing that we both agree on is that we both want all americans to have access to affordable quality health care. we agree on that. unfortunately, obama care doesn't give us that. it's harming millions of americans. healthcare costs are skyrocketing, cheap choices are and millions are forced to buy insurance that they don't want. americans may have health insurance on paper but they don't have access. there's a big difference between health insurance coverage and access to affordable coverage. let me give you two examples: cambridge massachusetts $18000 a year premiums, 9000-dollar deductible, that's $2700 out of thousand dollars out of their pockets before their insurance coany pays the dime. another couple out of richmon ohio, 20000 premium, $9000 deductible, $29,000 out of,

wasserman schultz: thank you, mr. speaker. i stand in opposition to the republican pay more for less care act which the americans will suffer from higher health care doeses, less coverage, a crushing age tax, and ransacking of the medicare trust fund which ur seniors depend on for long-term care. americans ages 50-64 have to pay more than five time highser. under trumpcare, an individual will pay $1,25000 more in their premiums n addition, trummle care will take away health care from 24 million hardworking americans and will force families to pay higher premiums and deductibilities. in fact, for families enrolled in the a.c.a. marketplace, premiums are expected to increase by 15% to 20%. also funnish millions of people who experience lapse in coverage by forcing thome pay a 30% higher premium each month in order to receive care. tell that to ue zahn from sun rise, florida, two daughters heading to college, lost her husband to lung cancer, and lost the insurance coverage she had. thankfully she was able to obtain coverage from

wasserman schultz, for five minutes. ms. wasserman schultz: thank you, mr. speaker. you know in listening to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle this morning i'm struck by the adage, you are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. i think it's important to note that the reality of the passage of the affordable care act in 2010 was that there were hundreds of hours of hearings. many, many opportunities for all members to provide input. a mandatory process that allowed for changes to that legislation that eventually became law and discussion and a c.b.o. analysis that shed light on the true cost. nothing like what has been described during the 24-hour whirlwind in the middle of the night that has resulted in the ramming through of legislation that will clearly increase costs and cover fewer individuals. mr. speaker, as a mother of breast cancer survivor, and proud floridian, i rise today in opposition to the majority's irresponsible proposal to repeal the affordable care act. after preaching for seven years about a superior altern

. >> i now recognize the opponent of the motion, mr. smith from missouri for ten minutes. >> i clearly oppose this motion because it is our responsibility to limit the size and scope of the federal government and that's what this bill does. we must advance this conservative solution to get control of spending and save our country from economic despair. when the folks on the other side of the aisle talk about taking from away from the poor, you're talking about taking away from the people i represent. i know the working poor. i note the lower middle class looks like because i represent the 14th economic distressed congressional district in the country. that is out of 436 districts. in my district the median household income, not of an individual, the household income is right at $40000 a year. about 20% of the people live below the poverty line. according to peyser estimates, less than 3.4% of the people in my congressional district and rolled in obama care. through healthcare .gov. that last than 26000 people in southeast, south central
