On the recordMay 2, 2002
I absolutely agree. With all due respect to our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, the math does not add up. It is time to get beyond principles and rhetoric and say to those watching this morning sitting at their kitchen table, seniors who are sitting down right now deciding, Do I eat today or take my medicine, that we are going to step up to the plate, do what is right, and do what is long overdue. I see my colleague from North Dakota. I would very much like to yield to him. He has been such a leader on this issue. We share, as border States, the frustration of citizens from our States who can easily go on a short trip across the border and pay lower prices for American-made drugs. The Senator has been a real leader in this effort.
