are components of the affordable care act, like the exchanges, ideas which are aligned with medicare advantage, some of the republican plans for premium support. but when it comes to the overall obamacare package from especially the harmful regulations, those accusations are false, which is why the heritage foundation and conservatives are still very much engaged to repeal this very damaging law. in terms of single-payer, i think that would be very, very devastating. you just need to look at canada or the u.k. and think about what that means. single-payer means rationing by government fiat, and that leads to care issues. individuals in canada who are older, they cannot even get an mri, and there are terrible stories of how people suffer needlessly because they cannot get access to the health care system, which is why we need to move towards patient-centered health care. in terms of a government shutdown, one of the prospects -- what are the prospects for that this year? i think the delays in the budget process certainly aren't helping . the fact that we have not seen the budget resolution unti

it removed spending from the current levels on thing like medicaid, medicare advantage. the reformed proposal reduces future of growth rate. as i really thought was well expressed by director of office of management and budget, he said, only in washington, can, if you spend a dollar this year, and a dollar next year, could that be a put in spending. if you spend $1.07 next year that is a cut in spending versus a dollar today. i want to return to one thing. president obama said, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor and your plan, and your premium going down 2500 per family. the interesting thing, we know they knew at the time they were making those promises, they could not keep them. so this was worse than being making a bad prediction about affordable care act, this was deliberately misleading american people using poll and focus groups to test language they knew was untruthful at the time they said it, that is remarkable that media let them get away with it. one thing to say, you predicted something, and that did not turn out, but we know from the obama admi

when she had cuts turned into increases in the medicare advantage program directly benefiting the industryshe now represents. before her job, turns out she was an executive at the hospital corporation of america. we profiled him last week and was hit with the largest fraud settlement in u.s. history. there are other swa swamp things calling out just behind her. her replacement at the center for medicare and medicaid is yet another citizen of the swamp. he was previously a top executive and a subsidiary of america's biggest health insurance company which received $30 billion in revenue and when he became deputy administrator he made at least $4.8 million in tax-free income from major healthcare companies. how convenient. the acting administrator ruled on business that could affect united health group. bobbing in political donations keeps it going. to his credit, tom garrett has tried to expose this corruption talking about why nothing ever happens to clampdown. so why hasn't been done? i can inc. of one sad but reasonable answer. this is a sitting congressman telling you the health insuranc

smucker says locks us into that status quo, i remember the debates had in this body over medicare advantage. and member after member lined up and said "i don't want to see the medicare program change." and as mr. smucker alluded to, medicare vantage is the single most popular aspect of the medicare program today and yet we see budget after budget so often from the other side trying to restrict the medicare advantage program if you want the program to continue just as it always has with no improvements and no changes, the trustees tell us that option is not available to us, bankruptcy is imminent. but more importantly, why would you? why wouldn't you want to add more choices to the system? we have done that in the past, we have done it successfully and we have done it to the delight of those members on medicare. but i'll say this to all my colleagues in great candor, we rouse --nd th end the colleagues in great candor, we need to colleagues in great candor, we need to end the ruse that folks like me in our 40s are going to have the same medicare program that my mom and dad had. we never had

should expect in medicaid expansion that by 2024, we should see costs go down, this happens at medicare advantage. we agreed that if we invested in this population, the cost should come down. the way we are talking about it is politically oriented. instead of saying, by 2024, if we have not had enough momentum and if all the people we cover, 70 million americans in medicaid, if we have not invested properly and costs do not go down, we have made a mistake. we have to hold everybody accountable, including the insurance companies and private industry to say what do we do have to do to make medicaid costs come down. >> talk to someone from the cleveland clinic who said that in order for there to be progress on health policy in this country, this bill has to fail. would you go that far in agreeing? is this a political hindrance to making policy changes? >> whatever it gets to a bipartisan discussion is the best solution. i have given up on figuring out what the politics are. what motivates people. more about the election than anything else. let's get to solutions on the table, they are simple, medica

our telehealth bills offer a enu of options, policy for adding telehealth to medicare, advantage programs have bipartisan support among both houses as well as a broad coalition of support from stakeholders. and we know they save money. i worked on telehealth for decades. when i was in the california state senate, i wrote the state's first telehealth legislation to bring critical services to folks enrolled in the medicaid program. that was 1996 and it's 2017 and we still haven't passed in congress comprehensive telehealth legislation that would expand access for medicare beneficiaries. it's long past time for congress to come to the conclusion. telehealth saves money and saves lives. i'm optimistic that the passage of this bill is a small sample of what's to come. i thank you. nd i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from ohio is recognized. mr. tiberi: i would like to yield two minutes to the gentleman from texas, the chairman of the health subcommittee of energy and commerce, leader on health care issues, dr. mike burgess. the spe

we have medicare advantage programs. we have other options. we ought to make sure that's available to every american. you choose it if you wish. those three things right off the top that i would include as part of what we can do on a bipartisan basis, democrats and republicans. take the tax cut off the table. take slashing medicaid off the table. take rewards to health insurance companies off the table. focus on helping the families and businesses and individuals in america who need this basic protection. so we're going to go into this mystery vote tomorrow. we've been elected to the united states senate. there aren't many people in history who have had this honor. what we're doing tomorrow does not bring honor to the senate. considering a bill that has not been written, published, and disclosed to the american people is just wrong. considering a bill that's never had a committee hearing is unfair. considering a bill that i'm sure will have many flaws and weaknesses is reckless. and that's what we face this week. how important is it? it may be
