med pac has proposed innovative solutions and i look forward to hearing more from the report. meeting with medicare providers around my district and state, i've heard overwhelmingly that overbearing regulations are increasing, burdening providers and seem to be driving out and discouraging small providers in particular. i'm worried about the direction we're heading in this area. i'm hopeful my colleagues on the subcommittee, the full ways and means committee of this congress can work together with the new administration to not only spur innovation but reduce regulatory burdens across the medicare program. with that, i'd like to introduce today's witness, mark miller, the executive director of the payment advisory commission, med pac. welcome back. and before i recognize ranking member levin for an opening statement, i ask unanimous consent that all members' written statements be included within the record. with that, i recognize ranking member mr. levin. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman and it's a pleasure for us to work with you and your colleagues. and to you, dr. miller

in your march 2017 report, med pac points out that skilled nursing facilities are able to control the amount of money medicare will pay them based on the current payment model. i just want to get your sense of the impacts of a move to a value-based payment model and the skilled nursing facility space. so just a couple of questions. the american health care association has a value-based payment idea that the march 2017 report discusses. it states that the model, while reducing payments to for-profit facilities will increase payments to non-profit facilities. could you talk briefly about med pac's belief that the idea will strengthen the skilled nursing facility system as a whole? >> so, if i follow the question, and if not, just redirect. there's a few things that i think we're saying that you're responding to. the first dissimilar to the conversation with mr. roskam. inside the snif, the skilled nursing facility, we think it is too high and the way the system is currently structured and we can get into some of the technical, but for the moment, just trust me, the way the system is cur

absolutely he does his own dirty work because they don't have the super pac acting on his behalf. >> so you are just pointing out that there is a different approach to these mayors but at the same time as this is july 2015 talking about john mccain and it is very tortured language. but your response in the book is wholly different how you treat the land back up this of -- glen beck episodes you hammer the post who has not properly reported on the incident as opposed to say donald trump why are you smearing john mccain?. >> guest: there was an article that i wrote about but i am not here to cheer or defend mccain or trombone -- trump the one idea criticized that behavior that doesn't mean i support him or i in cheering him on. i see that separate but it is miss read if you support him then you must not like the other. it has nothing to do with that but what i say is fair or accurate media coverage and i have speaking now frequently about pac -- that >> host: let's. >> that's fine. >> i will read this little segment about you. >> with my transactional a journalism chapter between the j

super pacs are increasingly doing the canvassing that parties used to do. it's a very quick takeover of our political system. i believe, and sorry to say this to you, adam, but one of the things we have to do is take on -- is say, okay, we have changed the way campaigns are funded, i'm not sorry to say that, moved to a publicly financed system in the united states, in new york city it's transformed new york city politics, led to a lot more competitive races, fewer incumbents being able to sort of sit pretty. and then we also need to bring about anti-monopoly laws. and i would say that google and facebook have enormous political power, and i felt that political power in my own race not only as filters for news and information, but also in terms of the deep political connection to the political parties. we talk about law and nonenforcement, google was deeply embedded in the obama administration, and many people look at that as a reason why the obama administration did not take on the wage fixing scandal in silicon valley where basically the big five agreed no

fast joining me to discuss here in the studio is connor brantley executive director of america's youth pac and from st louis we've got ed martin joining us former missouri state g.o.p. chair and the president of eagle forum thank you so much for talk with me ed i want to go to you first we've got a republican president time for you to step up here i want to touch his tax reform basically which was a lot of people said a press release we got kind of a one pager how are we supposed to do anything comprehensively with that. well look i mean i think when donald trump ran on an america first agenda and on taxes it was the same thing if you if you listen closely and these are policy preferences one is get the tax corporate tax rate down so that american business so that businesses stay where american jobs are all right i'm going to go now to connor i want to get his thoughts on the republican president essentially the one pager we got. on these on these taxes we've heard some more details from capitol hill on this but how are you going to actually bake a cake with these ingredients i mean i'm su

from any corporations none of it we don't take any money from political action committees or super pacs folks are going online to timken over dot com and they're donating small amounts last campaign we had over two hundred nine thousand individual donations and it gave us the resources to give wants for mitchell it's a real run for her money but i know your organization has three such election in georgia asked for paper ballots because of what was going on there and whether that was a village an election do you feel these numbers will really be counted. well i'll say this. i am troubled that almost every european democracy now has banned electronic voting machines and i think it's the perception that it's very easy to hack into these election systems and you've got democrats who are of course accusing the russians of hacking in not just to the d.n.c. but actual state alexion voting systems and it doesn't just have to be the russians these are very easy to hack into at this point political had an article about how to grad students at princeton took seven minutes to hack into an election

against really one of the most powerful machines in the country wasserman schultz had all kinds of pacs and super pacs she was very well funded she had the support of the entire democratic establishment from the white house down to the local county. party organizations and she really dodged debates until it was so late and by the time we had our one very early morning debate. something like a third of the electorate had already voted in an absentee voting all of this corruption that came forward throughout the process last year and it doesn't seem like the demo of the top of the democratic party is doing any self reflection actually deciding what it is that they did wrong or why people don't want to vote for them speak a little of that. well i think you're absolutely right and it's up to the grassroots it's up to activists it's up to ordinary people in the party to to push this conversation the party establishment doesn't want to have this discussion they've been a failure and again it's not just a failure in two thousand and sixteen it goes back a number of years now and there's a fund

then a pro-hillary clinton super pac with connections to this union ended up subsidizing their paychecksiel while they were on unpaid leaf they wouldn't lose any money. the fact that these entities colluded and worked together and gave them unpaid leave, but then the pro hilary super pac compensated them for their time indicates that the postal service knew this was a violation of federal law, they knew they wouldn't pay them during this time-out, and they could lewded with the super pac in order to get it done. >> neil: that's a violation of the hatch fakt act. does that ex -- hatch act. does that extend to all fred workers? >> so it extends to most federal workers, most postal workers are allowed to do some campaign financing. the issue is after several local officials objected to letting these employees take all of this time off, the overlords came and said, like, oh you have to do this, you have to allow them to take this time off. just the fact there was a bias, that they were almost pressured or commanded into doi doing this in favor of one specific candidate is where the problem w

we started the stop hillary pac almost four years ago now to make sure that hillary clinton never stepped foot in the white house and after the day after the election when we saw the the left having a national temper tantrum on college campuses across the country and then we saw the recounts and then we saw all of the other stuff to try to discredit the election and discredit this administration our members demanded that we continue to fight for the president continue to fight for the voters who elected him well he's got a fight on his hands with health care right now does he own this he campaigned on this and he's had some shifting positions in fact yesterday he had this to say about the health care situation. and i think we're probably in that position where we'll just let obamacare fail we're not going to own it i'm not going on and i can tell you the republicans are not going to. mr armey that was a different story today at the white house where he was pushing repeal and replace what do you what do you make of the shifting move or is it. well i think certainly the republicans have bee

a lot of those folks started off as state, people who were elected in part with help from go pac. >> that's right. >> and it turned out to be very successful. >> well, we were not a big enough party to compete nationally. and after 1985 we decided we had to dramatically grow the system in order to be competitive. we were like a mid-sized college team in the super bowl. and if we were going to ever beat the -- took us 40 years of being in the minority, took me 16 years to create the majority, literally. sixteen years. we tried every two years. we lost in '80, '82, '84, '86, '88 -- when people say '94 was a great year, i say, yeah, you should have seen the earlier ones. we'd been trying every single year from the time i got elected in '78. >> when the republicans had the majority in the congress in the '90s, bill clinton -- a democrat -- wound up working with you on welfare reform, wound up working with you on spending cuts and tax cuts, and you wound up balancing the budget. president trump had an opportunity to do that as well. he talked about the $1 trillion infrastructure program.

i'm not sure it is the constituents as much as the lobbies and super pac's.he republicans are not listening to the town meetings they are going to. many of their constituents are angry about this. i think people did not understand what repealing obamacare meant and now that they are hearing the republican plan, they do understand, so, in my opinion, the republicans are going to be dammed if you do and damned if you don't. once they pass, if they pass what they have now, they are going to have a lot of backlash from people when they find out how much it is going to cause problems for them. guest: listen, i don't disagree with the premise. this is a mirror image of what the democrats faced. to the democratic town halls. they passed it anyway. they did back room deals for twisted bunch of arms to get the number of votes they needed to to get this done and they paid a price for it at the polls. republicans are in the same situation. republicans will argue that these are democrats at the town halls, these are not their voters. there is some truth to that probably.
