Pete Stark: “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.

If we had vouchers, or whatever you want to call premium support things, the Medicare would stop being a defined benefit plan and become a defined contribution plan, would it not?

Basically Republicans want to take away Medicare's guaranteed benefits and replace it with a voucher and put the insurance companies back in charge.

we are not being asked to contribute anything to pay for that war. Lower income people maybe are.
