Do you think seniors are going to be happy that their Medicare Advantage plans are taken away?
I think what is motivating us here is the fact that the system we have right now is deeply flawed and that we have 29 million Americans without insurance, over 40 million Americans underinsured.
I think it goes to Congressman Morelle's question about Medicare and how it could lead in innovation in payment.
We ought to be able to go on both tracks. I refuse to believe that we are incapable of doing great things.
I believe we can do great things here if we want to, right? We can walk and we can chew gum at the same time.
I think instead we welcome the opportunity to look to the future and begin the work of making our healthcare system...
The fact is, Donald Trump does not have a plan to address healthcare, unless you consider dismantling the Affordable Care Act...
the goal here ought to be try to reduce the healthcare spend or at least bend the cost curve down
I think this is the appropriate place to begin the conversation around healthcare.
