I always love to come to these propaganda hearings before the elections, and it is obvious we are trying to hold the insurance companies harmless here.
We have made some substantive bipartisan progress recently. We need to build on our success.
I intend to carefully scrutinize ideas that may not be in the best interests of the program or the beneficiaries.
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.
