Innovation will be central to our efforts to address rising healthcare costs.
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.
I intend to carefully scrutinize ideas that may not be in the best interests of the program or the beneficiaries.
The truth is that Medicare must be strengthened, not cut, and benefits must be expanded, not scaled back.
