Pete Stark: “I saw the ad. I took the trouble to vet them out. They are not worth the paper that ad is printed on.”

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

Two leading doctors at Harvard Medical School have concluded that 43,000 people will be killed annually if the ACA is repealed without a replacement.

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.

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.
