One of the largest holes in the Medicare system is that it does not currently cover most dental, vision, or hearing expenses.

In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.

We have begun to lay the groundwork for payment reform by passing the IMPACT Act, which will give us the data we need to improve quality in post-acute care settings.

The best way to improve and sustain Medicare is by expanding it and strengthening it because, unfortunately, there are holes in the program that weaken health security of our beneficiaries.
