"I have a hard time believing any objective observer could look at the results thus far to describe innovation as a success," Rep.
Anna Eshoo said during a June 13 hearing on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.
The Washington Post reports the center was created by Congress in 2009 with a $10 billion budget "to be an engine in our drive towards value-based care," according to Rep.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation was created with the goal of improving the quality of care and lowering the cost of health care, according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation's website.
In its first decade, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation projected it would save $1.3
