Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 12, 1995
We are the ones who in this session have already met and worked with seniors to make sure that we help them earn beyond $11,028 a year, to make sure that in the next 5 years if they earn $30,000 without deducting for Social Security, and we are also saying, the same leadership of this House that has always come forward with the idea of rolling back the unfair 1993 Social Security tax increase, we are here working in a bipartisan fashion, I believe, to try to come up with the kinds of solutions that are meaningful. And it may be that from our own districts, our own Medicare preservation task forces will see that managed care is an option. We will see that the fraud, abuse, and waste is certainly a part of the equation. We need to hear from the American public so that we can make sure we preserve and protect and expand Medicare.
