Pete Stark: “Unfortunately, many dishonest individuals have abused the partial hospitalization program and defrauded the government…”

It gave every shyster and promoter a loophole. We now have to keep rewriting the laws like the tax code.

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 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.

Those 43,000 people are not just anecdotes. They are people too, who will lose their care if this is repealed.
