“let me say I appreciate the remarks of the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Bryant). Judging from his remarks, he would concede that we have managed to build a bipartisan product based on a Republican budget that set aside $40 billion to modernize Medicare and to improve benefits, and we have offered here the American people a bipartisan plan that would provide benefits that are universal, affordable, flexible and voluntary and allow them to get prescription drugs based on a model of choice, something lacking in the other plan. I appreciate the gentleman's remarks because he has clearly elucidated the strength of our plan and the fact that we are offering something that the American people, hopefully, can unite behind.”
