Pete Stark: “the incentive for gross over-utilization of services in these kinds of deals is enormous.”

It is apparent to me in this hearing from the testimony presented today that the Democrats' health care law is unconstitutional and will rob Americans of their current health plan and further hinder economic growth.

The home health copayment, for instance, I think is largely ascribed to be used by old, sick, poor widows, and raising the price that they have to pay is just one more Republican effort to deny equal rights to women.

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.

Because it is the law, and it takes enforcement.
