I can count on maybe one hand the Democrats who support vouchers or similar proposals.

I think it is the first hearing that Republicans have held in the Ways and Means Committee to advance their plan to end the Medicare as we know it.

Thank you for holding this hearing and thank our witnesses for their service.

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.
