We said no senior should have to choose between food and medicine, and yet that is happening in this country, and yet we are undoubtedly the wealthiest Nation in the world's history. We have developed a tremendous amount of health care technology, including wonderful new medications, prescription drugs that help prevent disease. We now have medications that prevent hardening of the arteries, that reduce the rates of heart attacks and strokes. We have medications that certainly allow senior citizens to live more comfortably. We have medications that treat and sometimes even cure cancer.
