Pete Stark: “What was as upsetting as the price differences was the difficulty in finding the cost to Medicare enrollees of this…”

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

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.

Turning a physician's decision to refer a patient into a marketable commodity.
