On the recordJune 18, 2002
as we speak tonight, there is a committee marking up the prescription drug bill which will provide prescription drug coverage for all seniors in this country. I believe it is one of the most pressing issues in health care that we face today, and so I am glad that we are going to spend this next hour talking about the House prescription drug plan; and I thank the gentleman from Louisiana (Chairman Tauzin), and the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis), the chairman of the subcommittee, for their leadership in bringing this bill to the floor and making sure that we have a plan that is reasonable, doable, and will provide immediate relief for seniors.
