The creation of Medicare in 1965 was one of the great policy achievements in the history of this country.
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 That landmark reform repealed the SGR and already started the process of transforming how we try to pay physicians under Medicare.
Mr. Blumenauer put through a bill, Mr. Levin and I put a bill in 25 years ago, that everybody in Medicare ought to file an advance directive.
We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
