What is shocking to me is that you want to spend even more than that and yet leave 30 million people without health care.
It gave every shyster and promoter a loophole. . . . We now have to keep rewriting the laws like the tax code.
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.'
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.
