On the recordJune 26, 2003
This is a historic evening. It is our opportunity tonight to provide prescription drugs to all seniors under Medicare as an entitlement and to do it in a way that is fair, simple and generous and sustainable. It is our opportunity tonight to modernize the benefit program under Medicare to deal with chronic care for our seniors, a big concern for them, and to structure Medicare in such a way that it will be sustainable, the dollars will be there and Medicare will be able to provide the health retirement security in the future that it has in the past. I urge support of H.R. 1 and defeat of the substitute.
