Bill Nelson: “the question is, do you want to help the program or do you want to…”

On the recordMarch 15, 2006

the question is, do you want to help the program or do you want to help the people? Members have all heard from their senior citizens. They are confused, they are bewildered, and in some cases frightened about this deadline coming up. They want some additional time. They are confused with this multiplicity of plans. Senator Grassley's amendment would only give discretion to the Secretary of HHS. They have already testified they do not want to extend the program. Members are going to have an opportunity to vote on the amendment that follows that will actually extend the deadline for the rest of the year, 2006.
