“as of midnight, May 15, 90 percent of seniors had prescription drug coverage, despite the warnings and threats from the other side of the aisle. They threatened, they scared seniors in robocalls, paid for by people who have prescription drug coverage, telling them too confusing, too difficult, not adequate. Let me tell you something. The very people that were raising a ruckus and scaring seniors are the ones that are on this floor that do have prescription drug coverage paid for by the taxpayers. Union groups that are paying for these robocalls urging seniors to be panicked, well, these are the seniors that got us through the Depression, World War II, Vietnam. These are the people that have fought for the values of this country. And they are being insulted daily by the rhetoric that somehow they can't figure out how prescription drugs work. I am embarrassed by the conduct of others. But I am proud that Palm Beach County and people in the 16th District of Florida knew enough to be able to sign up and now are receiving valuable needed coverage on prescription drugs. ____________________”
