“well, now we know what their plan is for Medicare. It is, ``Don't ask, won't tell.'' They tell us they are going to save it, but they will not tell us one detail as to how they are going to save it. If they have got such a harmless way of saving it, why do they not tell us? Mr. Speaker, there was just a 4-hour Republican conference in which they were telling them all sorts of things, but we still do not have one detail. What do we hear we will find out? There is going to be 1 day of hearings. My word, there were days and days and days of hearings when this was put together. Yes, we have a way to save Medicare. We save it by not killing it. They do not want us to know it is going to be killed. But when we ask them, when we ask them for one detail about Medicare, do not ask, because they will not tell. They just come down and scream politics, old order, and throw names around, but they will not throw the first fact out. Stop throwing names around. Stop calling names. Throw facts out. That is what we want.”
