James Moran said "in 2 months, about 10 million senior citizens are about to get a Bush Medicare tax imposed on them for the rest of their lives. If they don't sign up for the Medicare prescription drug bill by May 15, then they can't sign up again until the end of the year, and for the rest of their lives they will pay a 7 percent higher premium than their neighbors under exactly the same circumstances just because they couldn't figure out this myriad of dozens of different plans that they are presented with. This is wrong. The Republicans and the Democrats need to get together to extend the deadline to the end of the year, regardless of what the President decides. It is time for Congress to act and to save these 10 million Americans from having an unfair tax burden on their shoulders for the rest of their lives. It is wrong. Let's fix it. ___________________
