Ron Wyden actually said...

"Before he retired, the late Orrin Hatch and I said, Medicare today is not the Medicare we had when we were coming up."

"the ultra-wealthy can fire off a text to their accountant and say, make sure I don't pay income or payroll taxes this year."

"So Chairman Hatch and I wrote what I think is a transformational update of the Medicare guarantee."

"if the ultra-wealthy paid their fair share of taxes, there wouldn't be such a serious Medicare shortfall."
