Medicare
Congressman Blumenauer is a strong supporter of Medicare and has continually opposed Republican legislation that would diminish Medicare benefits.  As our employer-based health insurance system continues to crumble and more seniors depend on Medicare as their only source for health care coverage, maintaining a robust Medicare program has never been more important.

As a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, Congressman Blumenauer has been working on Medicare reform to tackle the perverse incentives that have led to geographic disparities in health care utilization.  Oregon is a model for low-cost, efficient care and can be a model for the country in achieving high-quality, efficient, patient-centered health care.
