The creation of Medicare in 1965 was one of the great policy achievements in the history of this country.
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.
Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing to improve and sustain Medicare.
