"No doubt Medicaid is a critical lifeline for some of our Nation's most vulnerable patients."

"Each administration has a responsibility, with Congress, to ensure that taxpayer dollars used for Medicaid are spent in a manner that helps our neediest citizens."

"I believe that Congress will be increasingly forced to take steps to modernize the Medicaid program."

"Policymaking is about setting priorities and making choices."
