“When this premium support kicks in, no senior in America will have any choice about the matter. You will be subject to a provision that you will have to pay more money out of pocket when the HMOs take the healthy people into the private sector and leave the rest of our senior citizens in the more expensive Medicare pool. The group that said that last July was the AARP which said it will require beneficiaries to pay even more out of pocket. One hundred percent of Medicare recipients will be subject to this provision. You have no choice whatsoever. And everybody in this Chamber knows it.”
