In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.
We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
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.
This is the kind of hearing where there isn't much disagreement about the fact that we want to have quality.
