I would like to remind my distinguished friend that health reform was 100 percent paid for, and the party that wants to spend $700 billion on the richest Americans for their tax cuts certainly shouldn't lecture anyone on the deficit.

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.'
Two leading doctors at Harvard Medical School have concluded that 43,000 people will be killed annually if the ACA is repealed without a replacement.
I strongly agree with that and yet, here we are where repealing the ACA without a replacement as the Republicans have already begun to do, would cost roughly $350 billion through 2027.
It gave every shyster and promoter a loophole. We now have to keep rewriting the laws like the tax code.
