Jim McDermott: “Fifty percent of the Medicare beneficiaries in this country have annual incomes at or below $22,500.”

It is not what happens in Mr. Kind's district, where about 80 percent of the people have advance directives.

At its core, Medicare is a fulfillment of a commitment to the health security of the American people.

the bottom line, as far as I am concerned, is what happens to patients.

The witch hunt that is going on here is really about discrediting the IRS.
