On the recordJune 18, 2003
prior to 1965, seniors had to go to private insurance companies to get their health care. Half could not find or afford private health care. That is why we created Medicare. Now we are looking at the opportunity to keep that choice for seniors, plus the opportunity to expand. If they want to be in an HMO, if they want to be in a PPO, they can find insurance in their community. That is terrific. That is their choice. But those who have chosen Medicare deserve the right to pick that choice.
