On the recordAugust 1, 1995
despite all their pious concern over Medicare, Democrats have chosen a path that most definitely will render Medicare bankrupt by the year 2002. Democrats have chosen the path of denial. They deny the existence of this report by three of Bill Clinton's own Cabinet Secretaries. They call for immediate action to save Medicare from bankruptcy. But Democrats deny that Medicare is going bankrupt. In fact, the minority leader himself has called this report a hoax. That's right. The Democrats don't even want to hear the advice and warnings from the people who run Medicare, who are themselves Democrats in the President's Cabinet. Mr. Speaker, denial is a dangerous path to follow. Medicare is going bankrupt, the numbers are not lying, and we need to take action now to preserve Medicare for millions of seniors who depend on it. We simply cannot afford to ignore the warnings of this report.
