John B. Breaux: “I think the whole debate politically about ending Medicare as we know it, I think we want to change Medicare.”

My answer would be yes, but you don't have to take my word for it.

The great challenge today I would just suggest to both my Democratic colleagues and my Republican friends and colleagues... is how do both political parties bridge the gap between the different political philosophies and produce health…

Suppose you have somebody who may not do that. Is there any provision in the bill that says what will happen to the company that does not abide by the plan? I believe in trust but verify. If you don't do what you say you are going to do…

Just like my Chevy II, things have changed, things have improved, so our recommendation is that we keep Medicare of course.
