On the recordSeptember 27, 2000
Just one final comment. I do not know how soon the gentleman will be 65, but under the Gore plan, at age 64½, if the gentleman does not want to join at that time, or changes his mind later, he is out of luck because he has got to make his decision at 64½ to do this, or there is no other chance. The other point I want to make is that the Government will decide which drugs are and are not covered. If the people, like the gentleman from Texas, want to have drugs, the Government can decide it is too expensive; and they will tell him to go to another drug. So all the concerns we had about Mrs. Clinton's health care plan is coming back with this pharmaceutical drugs plan. I think the American people should understand that.
