On the recordDecember 19, 2001
If anyone wants to look at any of the other pages in the bill, they will find out that on the health provision, there was $3 billion provided, and on unemployment, there was 9.2. That bill had $12.2 billion directed toward the unemployed and health insurance for them. In the bill we have in front of us tonight, thanks to the President Bush health insurance credit, there is $18.2 billion for health, and there is $19 billion for unemployment, for a total of $37.2 billion. One may wave one page, but the unemployed and those who are looking for health insurance think a $25 billion difference is real money. If the House and the Senate do not act on this before we leave for our break, all the one-page waving in the world will not help them out. This bill will provide $37.2 billion.
