On the recordNovember 20, 2003
If I can shift gears a little bit and continue this probing of the gentleman's wealth of knowledge and personal experience, let us talk a little bit, a big evolution in the past 40 years in medicine has been the importance placed on preventive medicine. My doctor tells me get your physical, exercise and watch your nutrition; and it is my understanding that as we age, preventive medicine is even more important, and yet another glaring weakness in Medicare, at least at the moment, has been a lack of coverage for many preventive medicines that most of us think of as fairly routine. I believe the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Mrs. Johnson) who is an expert in this field as well has been a big proponent of incorporating preventive health care within Medicare. And my question is: Have we managed to accomplish that?
