| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, the Senate passed a bill which will strip health insurance from at least 17 million people. |
| 0:18.0 | And they did it to pay for more tax cuts. |
| 0:22.2 | Here is vice president J.D. Vance brought in to break the 50-50 tie in the Senate casting |
| 0:30.7 | the tie-breaking vote as the vice president is able to do. |
| 0:35.4 | Here is the moment with a little bit of applause, not that much, to be honest. |

| 1:47.1 | Americans losing health care. And they realized that's very bad for us. We can't do that. Apparently, |
| 1:52.3 | they've decided that 17 million losing health care is an acceptable price to pay. So this is not like |
| 1:58.4 | a bureaucratic reshuffling, some vague legislation off somewhere in the |
| 2:02.1 | distance that won't really affect people. This means that there will be disabled people who |
