We won't control costs by cutting Medicare provider reimbursements below the cost of providing care. And if left on the books, IPAB will endanger the lives of seniors and delay access to providers. It's very clear. This undermines the doctor-patient relationship. It undermines trust in our health care system. It undermines quality, and we will not control costs with IPAB. That's why we must repeal it.

The trend lines in all these areas are very disturbing, in my mind, as a physician who has been around health care for quite a long time.
We are seeing the costs going up. And of course what the President is proposing is higher taxpayer liability.
I have no other Members wishing to speak on the bill, and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.
Less choice, less information, less control. This is disastrous for health care.
