I do not have anybody in my district that makes $645,000 a year, but could the gentleman tell me, do they work a lot harder in the gentleman's district than say that group of people down a couple who only make $70,000? Is that what happens in Wisconsin to those folks in the gentleman's district?

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 They are people too, who will lose their care if this is repealed.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