Brett Guthrie Republican
“I want the House to pass this bill. It helps people on Medicare get better wheelchairs to move around more easily.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 1703, led by my good friend who previously spoke, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce). Medicare beneficiaries should not be limited in their ability to access the right wheelchair to help them move freely in their daily lives. Ultimately, the payment clarifications in this legislation are intended to improve access to wheelchair upgrades among Medicare beneficiaries who choose to do so. I encourage my colleagues to support this bill. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers on this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
