Assemblyman Scott Wilk
Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, spoke to KHTS on Friday about his impressions of a special legislative session called by Gov. Jerry Brown to address potential obstacles to implementing the Affordable Health Care Act.
Also known as Obamacare, the sweeping health care reforms will transform the landscape of how Americans pay for their health provisions.

Wilk expressed concerns over the plan, but ultimately, he notes that the plan has withstood challenges and appears here to stay. Now, all that can be done is to enact it as judiciously as possible.
“Whether you like it or not, at least the platform for the AHCA is private enterprise in the private sector,” Wilk said. “So I think it’s incumbent upon us to make sure we do everything we can to implement it correctly.”
Wilk figures to play a significant role in how this legislation plays out as a member of the Assembly’s Health Care Committee.
“We’re not going to go back to the old system. You’re going to see people try and push even further and have the government completely take over,” he said. “I really believe it’s a legacy opportunity to implement this new law in the right way.”
