KERNEN Those are you ░░░░░░░░ the same arguments that ░░░░░░░░ and Republicans have been ░░░░░░░░ having forever But in ░░░░░░░░ I just tweeted something ░░░░░░░░ that said that fraud ░░░░░░░░ and abuse is probably ░░░░░░░░ biggest bipartisan thing that ░░░░░░░░ have that it s ░░░░░░░░ specific to what my ░░░░░░░░ are what my politics ░░░░░░░░ If it s being ░░░░░░░░ by the federal government ░░░░░░░░ probably is inefficient because ░░░░░░░░ s no reason for ░░░░░░░░ not to be KHANNA ░░░░░░░░ there s certain things ░░░░░░░░ are not inefficient Medicare ░░░░░░░░ Security KERNEN What KHANNA ░░░░░░░░ part KERNEN Medicare is ░░░░░░░░ in a come on ░░░░░░░░ you out of your ░░░░░░░░ Medicare And I m ░░░░░░░░ saying it s Medicare ░░░░░░░░ fault necessarily There are ░░░░░░░░ look around and look ░░░░░░░░ the way Medicare is ░░░░░░░░ out by the people ░░░░░░░░ benefit from it or ░░░░░░░░ I think Medicare Advantage ░░░░░░░░ be one of the ░░░░░░░░ that we re talking ░░░░░░░░ Right Ro KHANNA Medicare ░░░░░░░░ I agree that they ░░░░░░░░ actually had higher billing ░░░░░░░░ people who are not ░░░░░░░░ sick But when you ░░░░░░░░ at Medicare the administrative ░░░░░░░░ of that program is ░░░░░░░░ far lower than private ░░░░░░░░ And most people who ░░░░░░░░ on Medicare are pretty ░░░░░░░░ with with Medicare And ░░░░░░░░ and that is actually ░░░░░░░░ place where government is ░░░░░░░░ efficient than the private ░░░░░░░░ So I do think ░░░░░░░░ is a huge role ░░░░░░░░ government You look at ░░░░░░░░ Medicaid cuts that they ░░░░░░░░ proposing that in my ░░░░░░░░ halls that was the ░░░░░░░░ thing people were concerned ░░░░░░░░ that they may not ░░░░░░░░ able to get care ░░░░░░░░ their kids or for ░░░░░░░░ sick parents.”
