coburn and i and the bush and the obama administration focus on this and saw the number being driven down which is good. it is over $100 billion a year as you know government-wide. this is the last round we've seen some reduction in payments but not in medicare. in fact we saw a bump up in medicare and it concerns me. and i know if you could just talk about that. are you concerned about what you can do -- your department to help reverse that and get it heading back down? >> there are a number of things we can do. in medicare with parts a, b, c and d, we see some of it continuing on the right path and some that are not. there are some medicare continuing downward trend on the issues of doing better on the program. i think in our budget we propose funding that is important to continue with the efforts and work through efforts and we've talked a little bit here today about some of the rules and the regulations that are statutorilly on hold for reasons that people have raised issues with but we need to work through the concerns to continue on the path in terms of making sure we are recov

senators hatch and coburn have introduced a proposal for an alternative to obamacare.port. you have got other republicans who are interested in lending that hands, senator rubio was one ways and means chairman paul ryan in the house is another one, but they really need to move pretty quickly because the supreme court is making this less and less of a theoretical issue. >> ramesh, how true is it that once a log gets going, it has its own life, its own critical mass? are we at a point where there is no return on the formal care act? >> i do not believe that is the case. partly because of the way that law is structured. the law is still a work in progress over the sense that over the next years, it will replace the cadillac tax, the medicare board, the individual mandate starts kicking in and in strengthening. the risk corridors go away, so there's a lot of stuff that is going to change with this law. it is not too soon to say it is entrenched. >> i think it is a strange starting point brendan because this is a drafting error that republicans are trying to exploit. >> it
