I will not support turning Medicare into a voucher program because I do not think it is fair to ask a senior in District 1 to choose between medicine and food so we can continue to provide tax breaks for big oil.
Kirkpatrick rejects Medicare vouchers, emphasizing the need to protect seniors' access to healthcare.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you, Administrator Guzman, for being here to answer our questions today.
Mr. Speaker, I was absent today due to a medical emergency. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``yea'' on rollcall No. 55 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 56. Personal Explanation
SNAP and our Federal safety net programs are a hand-up, not a hand-out, and many of us on this Committee once utilized the program.
One of the things I hear most from my constituents is they feel the economy is rigged in favor of the wealthy and powerful.
