And the annual checkups. Don't forget those. And just undoing the requirement for copayment or deductibles for those screenings and annual checkups. There was this compassionate, reasonable, thoughtful approach to contain costs, provide for the continuation of a program that has grown immensely valuable in the lives and the fabric of our senior community. And you know what's interesting too? This ``hands off my Medicare'' is not just resonating with today's seniors. In the recent poll that I just cited, 61 percent of those age 35, Representative Garamendi, and older and 63 percent of those age 55 and older said they would be worse off under this GOP plan. Worse off. So the more people check this out, all age groups--under 55, under 35, over 65--are all saying, Hands off my Medicare. It's no wonder that the message has been resoundingly delivered throughout this country, no matter what region. You're on the west coast. I'm on the east coast. We're hearing it from coast to coast.
