Executive Summary

Outgoing Medicare Payment Advisory Commission Chairman plans to increase her work with Republican and Democratic lawmakers on potential legislation, following U.S. Comptroller General David Walker's May 15 announcement that she would not have her chairmanship renewed. Members of the health care lobby speculate that increasing concern on Capitol Hill over Wilensky's financial investments in health care ventures (worth an estimated $4 mil.) contributed to the decision not to renew her chairmanship. Wilensky will be replaced as MedPAC chairman by former CEO of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates Glenn Hackbarth, who was appointed to the commission in 2000
