On the recordMarch 12, 1996
Reclaiming my time, quite frankly, the committee that deals with this topic has not met, and it is responsible for Medicare, and it does nothing except worry and tell us that Medicare is going to go broke. It is in fact fiddling with this type of data bank, when the major data bank, which is the trust fund, is not being corrected. So there is a great deal of blame to justly be placed on the administration of the health committee under its current leadership.
