The Alliance of Specialty Medicine (Alliance) applauds Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) for introducing the Health Care Bureaucrats Elimination Act. If enacted, this important legislation would repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) and thereby protect seniors from Medicare cuts that could threaten their access to care. Joining Senator Cornyn as initial cosponsors of Senate Bill 3653 are Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Tom Coburn (R-OK).
