Full remarks as delivered:

"Mr. President, good morning. It's great to be here. I just want to share with America the great work that Republicans have done on Medicaid - that we're preserving it, we're protecting it, we're strengthening it for those who meet it need it the most. We're going to make sure that your seniors in nursing homes, pregnant women, children, and people with disabilities have Medicaid in the future - we are fiscally making Medicaid more sound.

"You know, it's only in Washington, DC, that you increase spending at a rate faster than inflation, and you call it a cut. We're increasing spending on this legislation. We're increasing funding for Medicaid. We are preserving and protecting it for those who need it the most. I urge everyone to vote no on this amendment. Thank you."
