how long are the Clinton Democrats going to ignore reports that Medicare is going broke? How long are they going to jeopardize the future of our parents' and grandparents' health? Mr. Speaker, new Government reports show a $4.2 billion shortfall in Medicare for the first half of this fiscal year, $4.2 billion. Just last year the Clinton administration predicted Medicare would take in $45 billion more. It seems the Clinton administration was wrong. When President Clinton had the chance to reform Medicare, he chose his veto pen and MediScare, scaring seniors over our seniors' health care security. The President is ignoring Medicare's impending bankruptcy, something our seniors cannot afford.
