In 2007 Pete Stark wrote that he believed that, on balance, the law may have done more harm than good.
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.
What is shocking to me is that you want to spend even more than that and yet leave 30 million people without health care.
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.'
