On the recordOctober 1, 2003
I have talked to members of the AARP who have come into my office back home. Yes, we have all received a seven-page letter to the effect of what they want in that bill, but they say we want a bill which will help some people now, and, hopefully, provide a foundation we can improve upon as we go on. If all of us are just going to stand fast and say this is not in the bill or that is not in the bill, or this is in the bill and I do not like it and we want perfection, we are not going to have a bill. As I said before, at least the rural providers are receiving some benefit, some help out of this bill. That $25 billion is certainly not chicken feed.
