Let's be very clear. They are saying in this health care bill, You want to cut Medicare. No. That's the point. We've been saying over and over again, we're strengthening Medicare. What they want to do is do away with Medicare, replace it with vouchers, or another term that has been used in the past is ``privatizing.'' In other words, to say, Well, you can take care of your health care. We'll even give you a coupon. Now, the coupon is going to be of declining value over time, but you're smart enough. You will have saved for your golden years and you will be okay. That is what they propose to do.
