On the recordMay 3, 2000
Mr. Speaker, I am on the floor this evening, because, quite simply, the prescription drug manufacturers in this country are ripping off the American people, and even worse, they are ripping off the senior citizens of this country. It is absolutely unbelievable that, as a Congress, we allow this to go on day after day after day. In the district that I am fortunate enough to represent, I never stop and visit anyone that this issue does not come up, that we do not have to talk about the fact that we have senior citizens that have to make a decision on a daily basis whether or not to buy something to eat or to buy their medicine. This is a situation that we cannot allow to go on.
