“I just want to say, they operate on the premise, and they keep saying it over and over again, I have heard it on the other side in the well, on the Republican side, that Medicare is broke, Medicare needs to be fixed, and Medicare does not work. It is not true. They say those things in order to set up Medicare to be changed significantly. The bottom line is my seniors tell me Medicare works. Medicare is good. That is what the gentleman from California (Mr. Thomas) is essentially saying, keep this line up that Medicare is bad and broken, then you can make all these changes because you say you are going to improve. But it is not being improved. It is actually being destroyed by what they are trying to do.”
