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.
