Murkowski Votes to Confirm Seema Verma as Administrator for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) released the following statement after voting to confirm Seema Verma as Administrator for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services:
“Congratulations to Seema Verma on her confirmation to be Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Ms. Verma’s knowledge about state Medicaid expansion is more crucial now than ever. She also understands that every state is different, and a one-size-fits-all rarely works. She is a strong advocate for state flexibility and is intimately familiar with the Medicaid waiver process – qualities that Alaska needs right now from CMS. I believe she will be a great fit for states like Alaska that are reforming and improving our Medicaid services, and I look forward to working with her.”
