On the recordOctober 10, 1995
the Democrats have detailed their own Medicare plan, best referred to as the Fred Astaire of Medicare. Light on its feet and even lighter on its details, the Democrats' plan dances around the hard decisions of the Medicare crisis in search of easy, look-good answers. It promises the seniors everything, everything except a Medicare system, because under the Democrats' plan, Medicare won't be around for the people who are 56 years old today. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to unlace those dancing shoes--don't give seniors the song and dance, then leave them to pay the band. Work with us to do what's right--let's save Medicare for the next generation, not just through the next election cycle.
