"This year's June MedPAC, Director Miller, reaffirmed--in my mind, anyway--that we don't have to scrap the current system in order to save Medicare."

"if it doesn't provide adequate financial assistance for lower income beneficiaries, benefit redesign puts these beneficiaries in a very, very vulnerable financial situation"
