On the recordJanuary 4, 1995
I feel that it is very important that our Nation continue its firm commitment to those individuals and their families who have served in the Armed Forces and made us the great Nation that we are today. As this population becomes older, they are unfortunately finding that they need a wider range of health services, some of which are simply not available under Medicare. These individuals made a commitment to their Nation, trusting that when they needed help the Nation would honor that commitment. The bill that I am recommending today would ensure the highest possible quality of care for these dedicated citizens and their families, who gave so much for us.
