Political Quotes

“Thank you very much for reminding everybody, first of all, that Medicare is the government program of health care for older Americans. It is not just a made-up story that sometimes people come up to us and say, Keep government hands off my Medicare. Well, we have to remind people that this is a 100 percent government program. And thank God for Medicare, because so many people, that is the only insurance they have. And I have to tell you, a lot of people come into my office every week and saying, I can't wait. I can't wait for my 65th birthday so that I can finally get the insurance and the care that I need.”
