This historic investment in America's future lowers prescription drug prices and caps costs for seniors, extends the Child Tax Credit, creates paid family leave, expands the ACA exchange to nearly one million Floridians, closing the Medicaid gap, boosts affordable housing, includes immigration reform, and works to combat climate change, among other things. During a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives last night, Congressman Soto gave the following remarks: "HEADLINE: Democrats deliver for the American people… again. Democrats deliver for Central Florida… again. Lowering prescription drug prices and capping costs for seniors, extending Child Tax Credit payments, paid family leave, and lower childcare costs for Central Florida families. Providing nearly one million Floridians with an expansion of the ACA, boosting affordable housing, immigration reform, the largest effort to combat climate change in history. And unlike the GOP tax scam that busted the deficit by $400 billion and $4 trillion in debt, we pay for ours with major corporations and the wealthy paying their fair share. The Republicans are doing nothing but divide, the Democrats are delivering for America. I yield back." Click here for a video of his remarks. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |
