Political Quotes

“I rise in proud support of this Republican prescription drug plan. Prescription drug coverage is absolutely critical for seniors today, and no senior should have to choose between paying for prescription drugs and paying for food or rent. So we are acting and we are producing a plan and we are passing a plan to give seniors choice. They can choose the plan that works best for their needs. It reduces their out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs, gives them a lifetime benefit, and the plan is voluntary. So if seniors have a plan already that they are happy with, they can stay with it. They are not going to get kicked out. But for those without coverage, this bill will help them get that coverage and cover those escalating costs of prescription drugs. Seniors deserve a prescription drug benefit, not just talk, not just debate, and they deserve it today, and that is why we are going to act today, not talk, not debate but act, act responsibly and act within a budget that we can sustain over time.”
