Political Quotes

“The Republican Party has led the way in making sure that we roll back the 1993 unfair Social Security tax. The same party, the Republicans, also allow seniors to earn more than $11,280, actually up to $30,000 over the next 5 years. The same Republican Party is also looking out for seniors on Medicare. We want to make sure that there is more money there for health care services. What we have done in our proposal which is not yet the law is going to make sure we remove $30 million in fraud, waste and abuse. It is also going to make sure that medical education for interns and residents, the indirect costs, is on a line item that is protected but not part of Medicare because we need health care for seniors, it just goes to seniors. Also reducing our paperwork costs from 12 percent to 2 percent. All of those things that we have been working for will make sure that Medicare will be solvent, protected and expanded for this generation of seniors and the ones to follow.”
