and mr. aaronted out these exchanges have a chance to move forward and show whether they are viable or not. i've been authors which is the basis of the health insurance exchanges and every year i introduced the proposed 100 equal number of republicans and democrats on that bill. we put in the affordable care to my republican colleagues ran for the hills near those one of the authors of mr. blumenauer on reimbursing providers for advances on direct electives and every year we introduced the bill in five or six members who were on that legislation. that was put in the affordable care to not turn into depth panels on our republican colleagues ran for the hills. so having a bipartisan conversation is difficult to have when you've got principles are issues that we have previously predawn suddenly divide us today. i agree with mr. thompson had to have a serious conversation with me to play in. we need words on paper we can actually see because we don't know a prone on this would agree that devil is in th

mr. aaron. senator breaux, i think it's important to get this out of the way right at the beginning of this hearing. do you think premium support will, quote, and the medicare as we know it, as some have claimed? >> i think the whole debate politically about in the medicare as we know it, i think we are to change medicare. we want to keep medicare. i think we want to improve the delivery system. i think everybody is committed to having the federal government provide adequate quality health care for our nation's system, seniors. but we don't have to do it under a delivery system that was formed in 1965. just like my chevy, things have changed. things have improved, so what our recommendation is to keep medicare, of course but it's a great program, but change the way it is delivered to our nation's seniors so they get a better deal, a better product at a better price. >> so then you would say that premium support does have the potential to improve the medicare program and shore up its long-term f
