                          STRENGTHEN MEDICARE

  (Ms. PRYCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE. Mr. Speaker, where is the Democrats' plan to save 
Medicare?
  They cannot fix it by whining.
  They cannot solve the crisis by finger-pointing and fear-mongering.
  And they cannot fool America's seniors with their demagoguery.

[[Page H 7561]]

  This weekend, the Democrats will pose as proud fathers of Medicare on 
its 30th anniversary.
  But, when the prodigal son comes home facing imminent bankruptcy and 
desperately needing help, those proud parents turn their backs, close 
their minds, and close the door on America's senior citizens.
  Where it comes to Medicare, the Democrats are deadbeat dads.
  We urge the Democrats to join us as we work to strengthen Medicare 
for today's and tomorrow's retired Americans.
