“I would be curious. This is where I don't understand the Senator's concerns about political gamesmanship and trying to make this about the children, and so forth. On the other hand, I am trying to figure out the President's position, and maybe the Senator can explain to me why no means testing. You know, $170 billion and basically no way to pay for it was not a problem for the President of the United States with Medicare Part D. They were jumping up and taking credit for it then. There was absolutely no means testing, and it was much more expensive than this program. The question is, what is the difference? Why is it that the President has a problem with this program, when Medicare Part D, with no means testing, no way to pay for it, was just fine?”
