Boehner: Because of Medicare Reforms, Taxpayers Will Save $2.9 Trillion

‘This was the first entitlement reform in nearly two decades’

“As Medicare turns 50 today, I’m pleased to report that new bipartisan reforms will make the program more sustainable for current and future generations. Because of these reforms, seniors will be able to count on Medicare and continue to see their doctors. And taxpayers will save some $2.9 trillion over the long term. This was the first entitlement reform in nearly two decades. While we’ve got a long way to go, this is progress. And it’s another example of how we’re getting things done for the American people.”
