i treat medicare patients. and from that perspective i can tell that you ipab is one of the most insidious parts of the affordable care act and it needs to go. as you all know, since medicare's inception it is congress leading the way and seeking policy in ensuring seniors' medical needs will be taken care of. we saw this play out in the last congress when they finally got rid of sgr and it was replaced by macra which came from congress with bipartisan support and it was signed by the president. that's how medicare is supposed to work. but as mary just summarized very, very nicely, if ipab comes into play then your elected representatives no longer have control over how medicare will work. instead we have 15 people with very little accountability without any day jobs and many of them have never even touched a patient will make decisions about how your health care spending through medicare is going to be run. and what's even worse, if the board isn't appointed it falls on one person, secretary of hhs. so you hav

i qualify for medicare now. i'm wondering next year if i don't qualify for medicaid will i be able to get back on medicare? thank you. caller'sdon't know the individual circumstances and i'm not sure whether or not he is talking about the medicare or medicaid program because he referred to both. that i thinkhing you were asking about is this phenomenon that you qualify for medicaid based on your income and if your income increases to the point where you go off medicaid but then something happens trust your income is you end up back on medicaid. that has historically been how the medicaid program works. ist is being proposed different. what is proposed in the current draft of the legislation is that in states that have expanded medicaid coverage, once people lose their eligibility for medicaid they wouldn't be able to get back on after 2020. that i think has many of the governors up in arms. we saw governor kasich making that point on some of the sunday shows. people who qualify for medicaid are people with very

-- danger to medicare beneficiaries. cms actuaries have projected that ipab will trigger for the first time this year and possibly as soon as next month. so at this point, secretary price is charged with finding savings of at least $1.5 billion to take effect in 2019 once cms makes that projection. and the medicare trustees also project that ipab will trigger again in 2022 and 2024, and that would require billions more in cuts to the medicare program. so as you heard earlier, here are -- there are legislative remedies to keep ipab from doing serious harm to medicare beneficiaries and access to care. we have the bipartisan bill in the house that you just heard about, h.r. r. 849, that is cosponsored by congressmen roe and ruiz x it is rapidly gaining cosponsors so, thank you, aaron, for the work you're doing on that. we also have two repeal bills in the senate. one, s. 260 by senator cornyn, the republican whip. and also we have one sponsored by senator wyden, s. 250, and he is the ranking member of the finance committee.

medicare. this is 50 minutes. >>> dgood afternoon and thank yu for joining us today. i'm president of the healthcare leadership council. v. hlc is a coalition of leaders from all sectors of healthcare. we have hospitals, insurers, pharmaceutical companies, ethical device manufacturers, health product distributors and many more representatives as well. but today, i am also speaking on behalf of a campaign that we call project my doctor and be. over 670 organizations from throughout the country representing patients, healthcare providers, employers and americans with disabilities, veterans and others have formerly urged congress to repeal the independent payment advisory board. today, we are going to share some information and perspectives on ipab and what it means for the medicare program for beneficiaries and those that provide healthcar health care te medicare beneficiaries. let me begin by introducing our panel for whom you will be hearing today. we have doctor alex, the president elect of the american association of neurological surgeons. he's also the chaihe is al

added a dozen years to the medicare trust fund to the life of medicare. the proposal we are looking at now from congress shortens the medicare's life to 2025 which should make us a bit nervous because it is a vital program.

let's focus on medicare and medicaid. a piece in the wall street journal over the weekend said medicare would become a block grant tied to the size of each state's medicaid population beginning in 2020. a big shift from th the former acting directorha for centers of medicare/medicaid services he who headed that organization through the end of the obama presidency. thinks for joining us is to talk about republicans efforts to bring a new health care bill before congress. let's focus on medicare/medicaid first on this segment. there was of a piece in the wall street journal that said under the republican bill medicaid is a block grant and a big shift from the current approach. what is the current approach and have reduced the the changes republicans are proposing? >> that is probably the mostingd as it works today your recently. >> if you have needs hmm but it is funded by the federal government and states and to have parameters many of those are financed by medicaid with long-term care for seniors. we spend 40% taking care

what medicare is amount. you are right, medicare is important. it started in 1965 and there have been different ways to deal with it. we used to not have medicare advantage and now in our district, 40% of my constituents use medicare advantage. the need to know shop to make sure they are getting the best deal on anything. medicare is on the greatest programs created and i'm glad you are benefiting from it, but it is not a state issue except for the supplemental insurance. about selling insurance across state lines, and the state of virginia has a policy and someone from texas buys a policy from virginia, i don't know how texas is going to -- if they are going to have a network for doctors in texas on a virginia policy. when people say they want to sell across state lines, you can already do that, but you have to be a national insurance company that complies with federal law, not just texas or virginia law. host: new york, susan, democrat. caller: i want to make a statement. i am a democrat turned republican a

medicare for all, there are number of people who feel solution, the problem is that medicare really is not sustainable without a lot of younger working people paying in, so if you are paying into medicare now because you're working and paying payroll taxes, you are helping support long-term care and medicare for -- medicare for people over 65. that is not something that is sustainable. the average couple puts in about $165,000, average wage over their life in medicare taxes, but they consume more than $400,000 in medicare services after they qualify for medicare that, is not a sustainable model for the whole country. we've got to figure out a better solution to cover people with the kind of coverage that feels as secure as medicare. host: lisa on the independent line in ohio. i hope i got the name right, lisa, go ahead. caller: thank you. i wanted to mention yesterday cnbc had reported that annual income for the ceo of united healthcare is $66 million annually. the ceo of aetna is $17 million annually. the ceo of cigna is $13 million annually. do you think that the new legislation is n

he said, and i quote, "you can't get rid of medicare. medicare is a program that works. i'm going to fix it and make it better, but i'm not going to cut it." the promise not to cut medicare lasted about 6.5 weeks into the trump administration before it was broken. the bottom line is, trumpcare raids medicare. it raids medicare and causes harm to medicare in violation of an explicit trump promise during the campaign. and it brings medicare three years closer to a crisis to pay for a tax cut for the wealthiest in america. so, you have this enormous eye-popping transfer of wealth from working people and seniors and people of modest means to the most fortunate, and somehow, people have the chutzpah to say it is a health care bill? i don't think so. it is a huge, huge windfall for the fortunate. there's also the tax break on investment income. once again, this is a break that is going to only go to the most fortunate among us, and with the investment tax break, the overwhelming majority of the benefits, nearly two thirds of its, will go to the top 1/10 of 1% of earners in ame

i think that medicare part medicare advantage has been a great program for seniors. and i like about it that it is offering choice rs if seniors. they have the ability to figure out again, just like in part d what plan works begs for them and the fact that it provides them the opportunity to have additional benefits, vision, and dental services, i think it is very important in the fact that it providing more choices for seniors is a appropriate proponent. >> soy notice that the senator will pass, and doctor cassidy is here so i'm going to call on him next and then -- [inaudible conversations] bye. thank you for being here. i don't think i'm going to be age able to get become and continue on until we get this hearing over. ... seems to have had an effect upon us. can you just comment the nature of the structure of getting folks health savings accounts requiring things on their part, what i did vote for expense as well as for outcomes? >> thank you for your question. it's always a pleasure to talk about the healthy indiana plan. i appreciate the opportunity. the health

medicare. it is right there on the pace of under trump care, the only people who are going to see a. so medicare tax-cut are the people who need it least. i want to repeat that. everybody in america, when they get a paycheck, they see a medicare tax and everybody pays it and we understand why it's so important. 10,000 people turning 65 every day for years and years to come. the only people -- the only people who will get that that medicare tax-cut who need it the least. those who go to the fortunate few will take three years off the program to pleading it in 2025 instead of 2028. that particular cut breaks a clear promise not to harm medicare. all through the campaign candidate trump was very firm he said and i quote, you can't get rid of medicare. medicare is a program that works. i'm going to fix it and make it better but i'm not going to cut it.t they lasted about 6.5 weeks into the trump administration before it was broken. the bottom line is trump care va rates medicare. a raise medicare a

the republican plan also hurts medicare by taking money away from the medicare trust fund, where it really belongs. and right now -- right now -- the law says insurance companies can deduct only half a million dollars in executive compensation, but the republicans think, that's too hard on insurance companies and their c.e.o.'s. so sad. so they've lifted the cap to a full $1 million. the republicans are determined to help boost the pay of insurance company c.e.o.'s. no wonder the republicans didn't want to let anyone see this pl plan. this is literally a backroom deal to strip away lifesaving health care from babies, to drive the cost out of sight for seniors, to deny help for people with disabilities, and to make insurance more expensive for hardworking entrepreneurs. and in exchange, insurance company c.e.o.'s and millionaires get joined tax deductions -- get giant tax deductions. less health insurance for people who need it, more tax cuts for wealthy insurance company c.e.o.'s. this is the deal that it took republicans years to come up with? they should be ashamed. i have received lette

about how this could impact medicare. and the passage of the affordable care act made medicare more solvent over a decade. so added to us solvency and increasing benefits with their essayed disagreement that many of us voted against the medicare advantage program to make the program hold because it seems to me on the face of this of mr. thompson is correct will this reduce this? with this reduce solvency by three years? >> day not familiar with the actuary's report but what i can report is but three seats are contributed to the medicare trust -- trust fund will fall by one his $17 billion over the 10 year period. >> but this all seems to be about tax cuts and not the health or well-being of americans older citizens. that is why i asked to be submitted for the record who has deep concerns and that this impact will be severe on older americans why aarp opposes this legislation and they think this point is probably the most moral point we can make in terms of what happens to over americans. so individuals can receive a tax b

medicare is a program that works. people love medicare. and it's unfair to them. i'm going to fix it and make it better, but i'm not going to cut it. the president of the united states said he's not going to cut it. well, that promise, not to harm medicare, lasted six and a half weeks into the trump administration. so that the wealthy, the wealthy could get a tax reduction, the fortunate few who need it least, and the effect it would be cut by three years the life of the medicare trust fund. i think that ought to be pretty infuriating and concerning for people who work hard and cops and nurses and people who are 50, 55, 60. you know, today they're counting on medicare to be around when they retire. but because trumpcare made it a focus to give tax relief to the fortunate few, that tax relief cuts three years off the life of the medicare trust fund. now if that wasn't enough, people who are 50, 55, 60, before medicare, they're going to get another gut punch. this one's in the form of higher costs. in parts of my home state, particularly in rural areas like rand cou

this provision, this bill would weaken medicare and potentially bankrupt medicare by 2028. i strongly support this motion. i yield back my time. >> thank you. i yield one minute to mr. carbajal. >> thank you for yielding. thank you for offering this important motion. seniorsately 127,000 and persons with disabilities in california's 24th congressional district count on medicare to provide affordable, quality health care. will only increase as our nation's population gets older. we should be strengthening medicare, not weakening it. this bill takes a staggering $170 billion out of the medicare trust fund and shortens its lifespan by three years. this will result in a more seniors living in poverty. it does this while giving the , those withmericans an annual income of $3.9 million or more, let me repeat that, $3.9 million or more, a tax cut of more than $200,000 per year. this provision threatens our nation's most honorable citizens, and for that reason i ask my colleagues to support this motion to instruct. i yield back. >> i yield back to mr. kautsky. >> thank you. trump b

if we couldn't keep a medicare. medicare already works. -- if we could keep medicare. i will go as far as putting medicare self-insure, even after the expense of putting the other insurers and give them the power to -- pretty much what they're already doing. they are already negotiating drug prices. we keep the drug prices down. it would be a flat fee. everybody sees a doctor, it would be 50 bucks. say like every half year or six 1000, 2000 kick in bucks, everybody would do it. and that would obviously depend on who says everything up. get rid of the veterans administration. let it go. sell the hospitals back to the private sector. let the hospitals do what they do best for veterans. we have at risk that cannot get to hospital because they live in a remote area. of the veterans administration. sell the hospitals back. let the doctors, nurses stay in the hospital if they choose to do so or put them somewhere else. guest: thanks for your call. i will tell you i totally agree a medicare for all and single-payer system being the way forward to reduce cost whether pharmaceu

increased costs to medicare, reduced funding for the medicare trust fund.nd it's clear how house republicans intend to treat senior citizens. and actually it opens the door for more republican proposals, reopening the donut hole, taking away free preventive care, turning medicare into a voucher program, which is something that the speaker of the house has promoted along with actually the hhs secretary, now secretary. and seniors across the country are paying close attention and have every reason to worry. again, these are reliable voters. they pay attention to the cost for health care, and i would urge all of colleagues to support this motion. i yiel back. >> thank you. again, it is critically important that we support medicare. i urge my colleagues to support this motion and i yield back. >> i now recognize the opponent of the motion, from indiana, for ten minutes spirit i think that interpret recognizing. every time and it with constituents in indiana i hear about the crushing burden that taxes that include an obamacare have on businesses and families. so

so the support for medicare and the solvency of medicare becomes a question mark. as a result of the proposals. we don't have all the answers to this. but we do know that if a 60-year-old presently getting an insurance policy from the affordable care act, from obamacare, and making somewhere around $40,000 a year, perhaps working at wal-mart, they're going to see a 57% reduction in the tax credit that's currently available versus what the republican bill has. so a 60-year-old making $40,000 a year under the a.c.a., obamacare, will receive somewhere around $9,000 tax credit to support the purchase of insurance. under the republican bill, they're looking at a $4,000 -- not $9,000, but $4,000. 57% reduction in the support that they receive. probably leading to them not being able to afford insurance and winding up in your emergency room example. mr. scott: to add insult to injury, part of the scheme is to allow insurance companies to charge senior citizens even more. right now they're limited to three times what they charge everybody else. their bill allows up to five

medicare only pays 80% of your bill. chp medicare advantage, the benefits are better. out-of-pocket for annual is $3200. 10,000 dollar heart surgery, your out-of-pocket would be $3200. the republicans want to expand insurance so it goes across state lines some people in the who have rotten entrance will finally benefit from the way things are done in florida. -- so that people in the north who have rotten insurance will finally benefit from the way things are done in for florida. i know that there are other members that looked at medicare -- right now, many are saying medicare, this is not the time to talk about it. host: lois in florida. republican. caller: i want to make a comment -- you played the conversation and kevineny hoyer mccarthy. i'm boiling at that. the steny hoyer and the rest of the democrats forget what they did with obamacare? how they went behind closed doors? did they forget how they went ?ehind closed doors host: if anybody's interested, we are looking back at that debate when president obama came into office and pushed this health care law. go to w
