David Schweikert's Address on Economic Challenges and Legislative Solutions

Published | Video Starts at 24:51

Because I chair the Joint Economic Committee, I have a handful of PhDs and this is the numbers they come up with. So back to solutions. We've introduced a bill. Our first number was $1.76 trillion in savings, just reorganizing, redesigning the incentives within Medicare Part C.

You make money by helping them be healthier instead of scoring them as sicker. (24:51–25:04)
