Gerald Ford actually said...

"We ought to provide, under Medicare, catastrophic insurance."

"I think it is one of the best programs the Federal Government does in seeking to aid State and local units of government."

"I think it would help to provide continuity, enterprise, and bring added stability to the business and farming communities throughout our country."

"I think that is the best way under our system to convince Members of Congress that we must change our defense spending to go from a downward trend to an upward trend, as I have proposed."
