WASHINGTON,
DC
- U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
after
voting
in
support
of
Ms.
Seema
Verma
for
Administrator,
Centers
for
Medicare
and
Medicaid
Services.
The
Senate
approved
Seema
Verma’s
appointment
by
a
vote
of
55-43:
“I
believe
Ms.
Seema
Verma’s
extensive
career
has
given
her
a
unique
understanding
into
the
intricacies
of
our
healthcare
systems.
She
has
spearheaded
Medicaid
reform
across
six
different
states,
was
the
key
architect
in
drafting
‘Healthy
Indiana
Plan’
for
then-Governor
Pence,
and
has
consistently
shown
she
understands
the
benefit
of
free-market
alternatives
when
it
comes
to
managing
our
healthcare
programs.
I
am
proud
to
support
Ms.
Verma
during
her
nomination,
and
I
believe
she
will
advocate
for
better
care
and
will
do
so
efficiently
and
responsibly.”
