Frank Pallone actually said...

"IPAB has the potential to cause serious harm to Medicare beneficiaries"

"They would simply slash existing programs. They would end Medicare as we know it, and they would slash medical research."

"I do think that certainly when I hear from the doctors, you know, they see the SGR and, again, the cliff we faced in January as the biggest threat to Medicare, more so than IPAB."

"I am very strongly opposed to the Independent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB, created under the Affordable Care Act."
