"The bipartisan frustration you hear expressed is not because fraud in Medicare is new. It is not."

"Every dollar lost to Medicare fraud is a dollar stolen from America's elderly and every dollar lost to improper payments, intentional or not, robs from the solvency of this important program."

"Unnecessarily burdensome regulation also aggravates our country's long-term fiscal imbalance by inhibiting the natural growth of federal revenues under existing tax law."
