On the recordSeptember 15, 1998
I have to say the Democrats are united behind a strong and bold agenda which addresses the real challenges that face working families. There are two main areas which I think need to be prioritized. One is the idea of saving Social Security first, and the other is a Patients' Bill of Rights, or HMO reform. I am very concerned about what may happen this week with regard to a tax bill that is proposed to come out of the Committee on Ways and Means this Thursday and that will spend a significant portion of the so-called surplus that we allegedly have, but will not address the concerns over Social Security.
