Jim McDermott: “Thanks to the ACA, hardworking Americans have no longer been denied coverage because they have preexisting conditions.”

At its core, Medicare is a fulfillment of a commitment to the health security of the American people.

One of the largest holes in the Medicare system is that it does not currently cover most dental, vision, or hearing expenses.

Mr. Blumenauer put through a bill, Mr. Levin and I put a bill in 25 years ago, that everybody in Medicare ought to file an advance directive.

This committee has the potential of doing more good for the American people than perhaps any other single subcommittee in the Congress.
