To make that a reality we have to move the conversation in Congress away from harmful ideas like privatizing the program and cutting seniors' benefits.
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.
I intend to carefully scrutinize ideas that may not be in the best interests of the program or the beneficiaries.
We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
