“today the Democrat majority in Congress will no doubt ram through a bill representing the single largest step in Washington-controlled, bureaucratized, rationed, socialized health care, and they will do this under the guise of insuring needy children who are already insured under Medicaid or are already insured under the SCHIP program, which we could reauthorize. And they do this by turning SCHIP into a new entitlement, threatening to bankrupt the very children they claim to be helping. They do this by cutting Medicare, hastening the bankruptcy of the Medicare trust fund. They do this by cutting Medicare Advantage plan, threatening the health care choices of millions of our seniors. They do this by increasing taxes on working Americans. This is a threat to our children's fiscal health, it is a threat to our Nation's and children's physical health. It should be rejected.”
