On the recordApril 14, 2011
The chairman of the committee mentioned the IPAB, and it is true that the President indicated yesterday that that is a mechanism for trying to reduce the rise in Medicare costs. The chairman said they repeal the IPAB, which we believe will result in higher Medicare costs, which will mean that seniors have to absorb an even greater amount of the increase. With that, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the minority whip.
