it is a mystery that the Democrats would want to hide the truth about Medicare. They come to the floor and they are literally dripping with concern over Medicare. But they never mention this--the Medicare Trustees Report. This is the report by the Medicare Board of Trustees. The board is charged with overseeing the financial condition of Medicare, and every year they file a report. This report is like a prospectus that a company is required by law to give to their shareholders. Mr. Speaker, I think that every American, especially seniors, should have a copy of this report. They should call their Members of Congress at 202-224-3121. Mr. Speaker, the American people need to learn the truth about Medicare. They need to read for themselves what the Trustees say about the financial condition of their program. They need to read for themselves what the Democrats do not want them to read.
