Pete Stark: “$8.6 trillion. Do you have any idea what the two wars we are fighting and not paying for costs over the same period of…”

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.

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.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that repealing the major coverage provisions of the Affordable Care Act will terminate coverage for--sorry, not 30, but 32 million people.

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