On the recordApril 30, 1997
The only thing about Medicare that is dynamite is when it is misconstrued intentionally for political gain. I have never seen people who just maliciously go out there and lie to the American seniors. I think it is an insult to the generation who fought for freedom and liberty in World War II and my dad and your dad and moms. I just think it is totally sick for people to go out and lie to grandparents, but that is what happened, and Medicare, being Medicare, politics being politics, that is probably going to happen again.
