Mr. Speaker, what our colleagues should be doing is coming together to work with us to ensure the permanent security of Medicare. Medicare works, but after 55 years, it needs some updates. It has not provided adequate protection against pharmaceutical price gouging; it does not cover most of dental, hearing, and vision care; and, of course, too many Americans are just too young to benefit from Medicare. I believe we need to be working together to make Medicare better and more widely available to more Americans, because health security is American security.
