“every time seniors have to choose between drugs and food, they are going to remember this vote.

Every time seniors are going to have to share their medications because they cannot afford them, they are going to remember this vote. But I will tell my colleagues when they are really going to remember this vote. They are going to remember this vote in the November election, when they vote to return a Democratic majority to the House of Representatives. Because this Republican plan is nothing more than empty promises. And what do America's seniors get when they get empty promises? They get empty pill jars. That is what this prescription drug plan that the Republicans have is all about: empty promises equaling empty pill jars.”
