Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing to improve and sustain Medicare.
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.
We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.
