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 are trying to figure out where we are going as a country and how we can turn our investments and innovation into sustainable models moving forward.
A strong Medicare doesn't mean we turn the program over to the insurance industry, and it doesn't mean we shift more costs on to the beneficiaries.
We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
