Kendrick Meek: “That is not even the war. So we are saying, not the Democratic plan, that we know all and we know best. We are not even…”

“That is not even the war. So we are saying, not the Democratic plan, that we know all and we know best. We are not even advocating that. It is the majority side in this House that is saying, oh, we can figure it out because we have the majority and we have stacked all the committees and we can get it through the committee and we can get it to the floor, and if we have to do a Medicare move again, keeping the voting board open for over an hour while we walk around here and put pressure on individuals that have already made a sound decision on how they are going to vote, then we are going to do everything we can as Democrats. I commend our leadership, need it be in the Committee on Ways and Means, need it be in the Committee on Financial Services, need it be our Democratic leader the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), all the way to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Menendez) and our Democratic Caucus, and also the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn) who is our Vice Chair, to let the American people know that this will not happen and that with the President and with the majority side, they are talking about theory, not a plan. And so our plan is to make sure that we do not make life worse for people under 55. Even the President said, if you are over 55, you don't have anything to worry about.”
