I thank the Senator from Arizona for his leadership and for his thoughtful comments on the health care law. We fought those battles last year. We won the argument but lost the vote. That is not so good for the country, as our country is now finding out. I am one of those 40 million Americans who are eligible for Medicare, who received that brochure in the mail last week. I spoke about it yesterday. I found it very disingenuous and misleading and unfortunate.
