Mr. Speaker, I rise obviously in support of H.R. 4680, the Medicare Prescription Act of 2000. Our plan is market based, this is the key, rather than relying upon a government-run program, like many of the Democrats have proposed time and time again. My colleagues might ask themselves, why is this so important, because we know that one of the overwhelming components of any plan that we offer that it must provide individuals with choice.
