On the recordOctober 13, 1995
I wanted to talk particularly to the senior citizens today, Mr. Speaker, because I know that there is a great deal of anxiety and concern and some confusion as well. My gosh, if I were watching this debate on a day-to-day basis at home and trying to ferret out the truth from the confusion, I think it would be a tremendous challenge. So what I would like to do is, first of all, think about the one charge that has been raised on a daily basis with respect to Medicare by the minority party, and then go into the actual details of what we are going to do. What we have heard here on the floor on a regular basis is that Medicare is going to be slashed by $270 billion over the next 7 years in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich. I would like to take that apart on a piece-by-piece basis and show that it is completely untrue.
