On the recordJuly 11, 1995
the Medicare system is at a crossroads. The Medicare Board of Trustees have said, and I quote from page 3 of their report, ``* * * The fund is projected to be exhausted in 2001 * * *.'' That leaves this country with two options. We can either take the path to protect, preserve, and save Medicare or we can do what the President would like to do and walk down the road to no idea land that would throw millions of Americans off needed health benefits. Everyone agrees that there is a problem but only the Republicans pose a solution. Where's your plan Mr. President? Your own trustees agree that Medicare will go broke yet you do nothing. Does that mean that you would rather stay on the political median than save Medicare from bankruptcy? The answer to that question is clear. Our President is once again absent without leadership.
