WASHINGTON -- Senate Finance Committee Chairman William V. Roth, Jr. (R-DE) today released the following statement on Medicare reform:

"Any large scale Medicare reform requires a bipartisan effort. The best way to develop a bipartisan consensus is through the normal process of the Senate Finance Committee.
