“We certainly do. We move in exactly the direction of a fair market, but let me ask you a question about the plan you're supposedly defending tonight. If you look at this plan, and particularly pages 25 and 109, 110 and 674, it spells out how senior citizens can be forced out of Medicare and be forced to buy this new alliance insurance even if it would be different in their State than it would be in the rest of the country. So, if you happen to be in one State, and the State government adopted this new system for that one State, you could be getting totally different care if you moved across the State line. Do you really think we should adopt a bill which coerces senior citizens in a single State and gives them no choice about what would happen to them?”
