Gene Green: “I hope today's hearing is not simply another attempt to find new ways to obstruct and undermine the Affordable Care Act…”

I would like to submit the following letters for the record.

Mr. Chairman, thank you for holding today's hearing on the Implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act.

The promise of the 21st Century Cures Act is to advance the discovery and development of new treatments and cures through increased research and an improved drug approval process.

Critically, MACRA encourages providers to move away from fee-for-service and participate in a new delivery model that will reduce costs while increasing quality.
