‘If you are confirmed, Mr. Mnuchin, you would be the managing trustee for Medicare’

EXCERPT:

MNUCHIN: "Senator, I -- I acknowledge that it’s a very important part of the job and there is many parts of this job that I consider myself an expert on and understand and there are certain parts of this job that, if confirmed, I’ll work diligently with this committee and others. And there is obviously a significant staff. This is a very important issue and as I’ve said, I'm -- I’m committed to be very responsible in my position there and make sure that I properly provide the support from the Treasury Department and I would take my responsibility very seriously."
WYDEN: "I -- I will tell you that without any specifics on the matter that is so important you would have direct -- direct responsibility over, I find it very troubling that you won’t discuss Medicare."
