On the recordSeptember 29, 1995
Even after that 2-year period, senior citizens sign up for a year at a time, so that you choose your plan for the next year. Within that first 2-year period, you can try them all. You can see which one really meets the needs of your circumstances and which one really provides you the best medical care. You may find one where, for example, you find that your drugs are covered. You may find a plan that is better in fact because it includes some dental care that was not available in another plan you were in. The short and sum of it is you can choose as a senior citizen when today you cannot. You have one choice only and the choice you have, the status quo, is about to go bankrupt. What kind of a choice is that?
