Byron Dorgan: “Retirement programs and health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid. Each year more people become eligible for Medicare…”

On the recordJanuary 25, 1995
Retirement programs and health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid. Each year more people become eligible for Medicare because they have reached the age of 65. Each year, Medicare becomes more expensive and so does Medicaid. So each year these programs grow in cost without anyone having done anything to increase their costs.
