On the recordJuly 13, 1995
What we need to do is roll up our sleeves and work on preserving, protecting, and strengthening Medicare. And now that very famous Democrat liquor store memo that said participants should encourage individuals to, quote, think that the GOP wants to cut Medicare, not to make it more efficient, but to hurt the elderly, end quote. The memo then states that, quote, we need to exploit this, end quote. Mr. Speaker, we do not need to exploit Medicare. We need to save it. At the end of this month Medicare will celebrate its 30th anniversary, and the new majority of this House wants Medicare to be around for the next 30 years. While we are trying to strengthen, protect, and preserve Medicare, some just want to go home.
