Pete Stark: “I am proud of what we have done with the Affordable Care Act.”

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.

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 They are people too, who will lose their care if this is repealed.

The CBO has said it would lead to an increase in overall national health spending as seniors and people with disabilities are moved into less efficient, more costly private plans.

I am concerned about the proposals or any proposals that would shift costs to beneficiaries. Doing so I think would devastate them.
