miller, you're recognized. dr. miller: mr. chairman, ranking member, i'm mike miller, on behalf of the commission i'd like to thank you for asking us to testify today. as you've already mentioned, we're a small congressional agency required by law to provide analysis and recommendations to the congress. our work in all instances is guided by three principles, ensuring beneficiary access to high quality care, protecting the taxpayer dollar and paying providers and plans in a way to accomplish these goals. with respect to the program's status, medicare spending is about $650 billion annually. a 3.5% of g.d.p. given the enrollment of the baby boom and rates of spending per beneficiary, the medicare program is projected to grow faster than the economy is projected to grow and continue to raise issues of affordability for both the taxpayer and the beneficiaries that finance the program. by law, our march report makes a series of payment recommendations on various fee for service sectors. each year we produce an analysis on access,

miller, welcome. read your property your testimony and also your executive summary i was just struck by the thoroughness of the work you do. a lot of the issues are controversial. i remember when we first talked about controlling payments to that we s and the heck received and how much ontroversy it was. and you thought the sky was falling and it would never work out for physicians. and i mention that because i really think your report, and it has areas where there are differences of opinion, your thist shows how successful has been, this program, that is in some respects a public, not only public but public and private partnership. and with a lot of back and forth rom the private sector as rehe flected in your report. i just -- reflected in your report. i just want to comment for each of us on this committee, the subcommittee, when we go home we have lots of meetings with the various providers, the various groups. and they have differences of opinion. and they have some urging pleadings, but i really

miller, thanks for joining us today. and for the important role that med pack plays in informing medicare policy. we've had a chance to look at your report. maybe not read each page the long one b, but an excellent executive summary. and unfortunately, as mr. teaberry and i have discussed, this is the first hearing of this subcommittee. and i regret that we did not have an earlier hear iing on th consequenceal health legislation that the republicans introduced and passed. that bill as we know would have taken away coverage from 24 million americans. while handing out nearly $1 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. indeed, the very wealthy incorporations. it would it would cut more than 800 million from the program. it would allow states to eliminate or weaken crucial market reforms including essential health benefits, community rating and preotectios for older workers. it was opposed by doctor, hospitals, patients, aarp, almost everybody who is our participant in the work you do, dr. miller, though all of our colleagues

miller. thank you for being here, i appreciate the work that you and your staff do a great deal. as you probably know, in march this committee approved legislation, the republicans did, the democrats voted against it unanimously, that was a trillion dollar tax cut that included $75 billion reduction in the revenues in the medicare trust fund. it's my understanding this is going to shorten the life of the trust fund. do you know, were there any provisions in that legislation, or do you know of other legislation that would codify any of the recommendations by med pack to save enough money in the medicare program to cover that $75 billion loss? >> i'm not aware of legislation that would offset that loss, if that's what you're asking me. >> what? >> i'm not aware of legislation, that includes med pack recommendations that would. >> so $75 billion taken out of the medicare program will affect the access to care for the millions of americans who rely on that? >> i can't comment on the effect of tha
