having this gray hair, I do not know a lot, but I know a few things. No. 1, I am very nervous when Republicans say we do not need to know the details of the Medicare plan, ``Just trust us.'' I happen to know the history. They have never been for Medicare before. I find it very interesting they have such a loving plan. We do not need to know the details; they will just bring it out, and we will vote for it. I also know that the devil is usually in the details, and I also know it is pretty amazing; we are going to be asked to fast-forward and vote on it when even the Speaker of the House apparently does not know the details of his own plan. Thing about it, on Sunday, on national TV we were told it would be only $7 a month. By yesterday it was up to $32 a month. That is only 3 days. Heaven only knows what it is going to be today. I do not think a plan for this serious an issue should come rolling out here and everybody be ordered to vote for it without reading it. Take our blindfolds off. Show us the details.
