Angie Craig: “There is a very real difference between what Vice President Gore is talking about and Gov. George Bush is talking about.…”

“There is a very real difference between what Vice President Gore is talking about and Gov. George Bush is talking about. Senator Kennedy has effectively outlined it today. Senator Kennedy said let the Government run your health care; let the Government make your choices; let the Government control the process. The seniors of America do want choice. They want the same kind of health program Senator Kennedy has and this Senator has. They want choice, and they want flexibility in the marketplace. That is the kind of program we are talking about offering them. I cannot imagine we would want another federalized health care program where the Government tells the senior community of our country what kind of prescription drug they will get and where they will get it. Those are very real differences that I am afraid were avoided in the comments this morning.”
