There are few things Congress agrees on these days, but one issue that has bipartisan support is ending the Independent Payment Advisory Board. Created by the Affordable Care Act, its alleged purpose is to reduce Medicare spending. On Oct. 4, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced a bill, the “Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act of 2017,” which would repeal IPAB, by a vote of 24-13.

This bipartisan bill was introduced by Reps. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., and Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., and is cosponsored by 267 House Democrats and Republicans. The House should move to quickly pass the bill and send it to the Senate.
