The creation of Medicare in 1965 was one of the great policy achievements in the history of this country.
The work that the Innovation Center is doing will help us become more efficient and achieve our shared goals of containing costs.
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 That landmark reform repealed the SGR and already started the process of transforming how we try to pay physicians under Medicare.
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.
