Washington, D.C. - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today released the following statement on the latest budget from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.):

"I opposed previous attempts to dramatically transform the Medicare program in Congressman Ryan's previous budgets, and I continue to oppose those efforts now. The Medicare system has provided generations of Iowans with high-quality care. Our current and future retirees have been made a promise and they've been paying into the system for decades based on that proimse?and that promise is one we should keep."

Braley has previously voted against attempts to dramatically alter the Medicare program contained in Ryan's previous budgets.
