Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing to improve and sustain Medicare.
Thanks to MACRA, we have set Medicare on a more sustainable course that will allow us to pay for volume in health care--or excuse me, value in health care, rather than volume.
Getting the people covered by health care is one thing. Controlling the cost is another thing, and this is about controlling the cost, and I don't believe we have our arms around it yet.
Now, if you want to take away American subsidies, that will mean you are going to have financial hardship for everybody.
