On the recordSeptember 29, 1995
I would like to also interject that the whole issue of Medicare, people who think that we have not had enough public hearings or discussions, in my own case I have had 33 town meetings. At every one of those town meetings we have talked about Medicare and some of the ideas we are considering. So I do not think anyone is going to be surprised when they read some of the details that are going to be in this plan because we have had something like 36 hearings on the issue, of various committees on the issue of Medicare. This is not something we are going to sneak up on the American people, particularly on the senior citizens. I think by the time this bill is signed by the President, I think everybody in the United States will have a very thorough understanding of what we are talking about and frankly I think it will enjoy widespread public support as well.
