Jim McDermott: “For anybody to start putting those kind of prescriptions into law really don't make sense to me.”

Let me take an example, because we hear a lot of examples given up here.

Last year, we came together with MACRA. That landmark reform repealed the SGR and already started the process of transforming how we try to pay physicians under Medicare.

The creation of Medicare in 1965 was one of the great policy achievements in the history of this country.

Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing to improve and sustain Medicare.
