McKinley, P.E., (WV-1) voted to eliminate the Medicare rationing board established under Obamacare. The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) was a controversial feature of President Obama's healthcare plan. To save costs, Obamacare's rationing board could limit payments to doctors for life-saving treatments, potentially affecting seniors with cancer, dementia, or any number of serious health concerns. Our seniors deserve better than to be treated like budget line items by unelected bureaucrats. Today's vote to repeal this harmful policy fulfills a promise to West Virginia families and protects our seniors,' said McKinley. H.R. 849, the Protecting Seniors' Access to Medicare Act, would eliminate IPAB, a panel designed to ration care under Obamacare. The House of Representatives previously voted to pass a repeal of IPAB in 2015 (H.R. 1190), but the legislation died in the Senate. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
