McConnell on the Resignation of Marilyn Tavenner
‘We now call on the President to nominate someone whose sole focus will be to look out for our nation’s seniors and the many vulnerable Americans who use these programs, and not distract them from that task with Obamacare.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement regarding the resignation of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Marilyn Tavenner:
“The role of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator is supposed to be about overseeing these important programs, not implementing a gigantic, unworkable law that hurts hardworking Americans. While we appreciate her service, no one could have successfully managed a law as unworkable as Obamacare. We now call on the President to nominate someone whose sole focus will be to look out for our nation’s seniors and the many vulnerable Americans who use these programs, and not distract them from that task with Obamacare.
“We also call on President Obama to work with us to replace this law with real reforms that lower costs and don’t hurt the middle class the way Obamacare does.”
