Gene Green: “We cannot return to a time when insurers competed to find the healthiest, least expensive consumers.”

I would like to thank Dr. Rucker for testifying today on the Office of National Coordinator's work to implement the 21st Century Cures Act.

The Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) was a thorn in the side of Medicare and doctors who treated Medicare patients for over a decade.

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.

I am extremely disappointed that 2 years after the passage of Cures we still do not have the regulations necessary to implement these provisions.
