Pete Stark: “I said the poor and the uninsured who in no other way could get insurance, and I think you answered. You answered that.”

What is shocking to me is that you want to spend even more than that and yet leave 30 million people without health care.

But these projections have turned out to be incorrect. And since the passage of the ACA, Medicare Advantage enrollment has increased, and the premiums have decreased.

I would first of all like to try to make it the protocol in this committee--I am not succeeding too well--that we strike from our lexicon the word 'disability.'

I think we have to ask ourselves, how do we do more good than harm in eliminating the compensation arrangements.
