"I can't emphasize enough the critical importance of ensuring that the full impact, both economically and in health term, is considered across the population of beneficiaries."

"As Representative Waxman noted, crude cost sharing can do as much harm as good."

"Any proposal to redesign Medicare that doesn't protect these vulnerable seniors or looks to achieve program savings by shifting costs to beneficiaries is not one that I can endorse."
