On the recordJune 25, 1997

Thank you, Mr. President. My amendment is simply the Finance Committee amendment with the correction of several factors: removal of the Medicare eligibility age, striking the home health care copayment, adds provisions for balanced billing, eliminates the means-testing provisions and also eliminates the medical savings accounts. This is a vote for solvency of the system, restoring those cuts necessary to maintain the system is solvent but rejecting those issues----
