On the recordOctober 13, 1995
I want to caution, if you want to get educated on the Medicare proposal before the Congress, do not count on the newspapers or anybody else to educate yourself. Try to educate yourselves and be in touch with us. Write to us, call us, ask for information, as you always do, come to town hall meetings. We will continue to share that information here on the floor as freely as we can. Let me say again, our plan mandates no one to leave Medicare. They can stay in it if they like, and it will grow from $4,800 per recipient to $6,700 over 7 years. It is good reform that saves Medicare for a whole generation, not just for the next election, and that is important. It is a plan I think we ought to be debating, as the gentleman from California says, in a way that does not pit the White House against the Congress, or Democrats against Republicans, in this awful kind of political warfare.
