                                MEDICARE

  (Mr. FRISA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRISA. Mr. Speaker, Medicare is a trust fund. People pay their 
money in and trust that it will be there for them when they need it. 
But the Democrats broke that trust and squandered our Medicare away. 
And not only have Democrats left their footprints on our seniors' 
backs, their fingerprints are all over our seniors' wallets.
  But, Mr. Speaker, seniors can finally rest assured, because 
responsible Republicans have the courage and common sense to protect 
and preserve the Medicare system for our seniors in the future, while 
providing affordable increases so that they receive the care they 
deserve.
  It is a good thing the Republicans are in control to get our fiscal 
house back in order.
