Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 26, 2015
Today is a great day for America's seniors. After years of flawed Medicare policy, we are finally creating a stable system that ensures Medicare patients will have access to their doctors. This new policy will move our Medicare system to one that is based on quality of care that is provided to our Nation's seniors. In fact, for the first time in decades, we actually achieve real structural reforms in the program that will help save this critical program for future seniors. I would also like to highlight that this legislation repeals CMS' policy to eliminate bundled surgical payments. Eliminating surgical payment bundles would force doctors to spend more time billing CMS that could be used for caring for patients. I would like to thank Chairman Pitts, and I would also like to congratulate Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi, Chairman Upton, and Ranking Member Pallone for putting politics aside and putting America's seniors first.
