On the recordFebruary 10, 2004
I just wanted to reinforce the point that the Republicans never really liked Medicare, but that continues to this day in spades. When we heard one of the leaders on the other side of the aisle, one of the chief negotiators on this bill, or authors of this bill say, To those who say this will end Medicare as we know it, I say, I certainly hope so. So seniors have to understand who is driving the legislation and where their disrespect for Medicare really lies.
