Congress must provide additional authority.

In order to promote and support the goals of health care reform, I recommend limiting certain service lines from the IOAS exception's protection that have a history of abuse.

This demonstration project has to sync up with the effort Medicare is making to move toward paying for treatment based on its value, rather than its volume.

The EPA itself reported that the Nation's air quality has improved dramatically over the past several decades.

We need to push back against these types of one-size-fits-all Federal mandates.
