                         MEDICARE OR MEDISCARE

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, we have heard it again this morning. The 
gentlewoman from Connecticut brings it up. The only change the 
guardians of the old order want to make is to change the name from 
Medicare to Mediscare. They are intent on scaring senior citizens, 
despite the report of the Medicare Trustees that tell us that Medicare 
goes broke over the next few years if we fail to do anything.
  The new majority is committed to governing this Nation, is committed 
to saving Medicare, and, yes, is committed to a variety of 
alternatives. Far be it from the fear tactics of one-size-fits-all with 
one type of tactic to use. We want to broaden the options, to save 
Medicare for future generations, because our responsibility to govern 
allows us to do nothing less.
