Statement from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma
4 May 2017 - Today is the first of what I am confident will be many historic days ahead as we move toward patient centered healthcare instead of government centered health care.
I have worked in the field of Medicaid for 20 years and have heard from many mothers like myself who have shared their struggles and their hopes for a more affordable, more sustainable health care system. It is important that our most vulnerable citizens, the aged, the infirm, the blind and the disabled have more choices, greater access and peace of mind when it comes to their health care.
The bill that was passed today is a great first step achieving this goal.
