January 12, 2018

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:

This year marks the 55th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington. I remember witnessing his call for nationwide unity, acceptance, and brotherhood firsthand as a congressional intern. I was overcome by the sight of the crowd and knew I was experiencing a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. Dr. King inspired all of us to walk together in the cause of freedom.

As we celebrate Dr. King’s birthday today, we must remember we are not only the beneficiaries of Dr. King’s efforts. We are also responsible for continuing his work, “transforming jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” Let us mark this occasion by recommitting ourselves to Dr. King’s vision for a future that fulfills the very highest ideals of our nation.

Today’s announcement by CMS is a step toward taking the power out of Washington and sending it back to the state while also ensuring the long term fiscal sustainability of the Medicaid program.”
