Please take a moment to read my op-ed with Senator Coburn in todays Wall Street Journal. Today, I led 25 members of Congress in joining the Pacific Legal Foundation to file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court asking the court to take up a case filed by the Goldwater Institute concerning the Independent Payment Advisory Board’s (IPAB) constitutionality. Perhaps one of the most troubling parts of Obamacare is the Independent Payment Advisory Board. The IPAB will consist of fifteen unelected bureaucrats who are granted substantial powers to reduce Medicare spending. IPAB’s proposals could, for example, cut reimbursement for specific services that it determines not to be of high value. As a physician, I can tell you first-hand how troubling this mindset can be—every case is unique and must be treated that way. The IPAB is a serious threat to seniors’ access to medical care and I have long been an outspoken opponent of this board.
