Pete Stark: “The 75-year target doesn't bother me much, but I will come back and ask Mr. Herger, he will find out what it is like.”

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.

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.

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 They are people too, who will lose their care if this is repealed.

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