As a heart surgeon, I had the tremendous privilege of operating on thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, and I can tell you patient by patient perhaps better than anybody in this room, I understand the value of the Medicare program and the importance it plays in the lives of seniors, especially seniors back home in Louisiana, many of whom have very limited means and depend on this truly for their life.

Context
