The full transcript of Congressman Horsford's floor remarks is below: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and to the Chairman — I rise to highlight the historic investments that Ways and Means Democrats have secured in the Build Back Better Act. For years, Americans have seen their cost-of-living rise, while my colleagues across the aisle focused on tax cuts for the wealthy and the well-connected. At long last — with Democrats in the majority — Congress is delivering the change that our constituents deserve. So, as we rebound from the pandemic, I'm very proud that the Build Back Better Act includes my bills to cap out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors,lower health care premiums for working students, and improve wages, benefits, and training for workers at nursing homes and hospitals. I also want to acknowledge the major investments in our clean energy future. To tackle the climate crisis and create good union jobs, the Build Back Better Act includes my bills to invest in clean energy transmission and incentivize production of dynamic glass. The Build Back Better Act will pay for itself, create millions of good-paying jobs, and lower costs for our families. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |
