                             SAVE MEDICARE

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, the American people are hearing a lot these 
days from the liberal Democrats. The have heard terms ``tax cuts from 
the rich'' and ``mean spirited,'' and all the usual class warfare 
terminology.
  But there is something the American people will not hear from the 
liberal Democrats. The American people will not hear the liberals talk 
about the report from the President's Medicare trustees. They will not 
hear quotes from this report saying that ``concerted action must be 
taken promptly to address'' the critical problems with Medicare.
  There is something else the Democrats will not be talking about.
  They will not be talking about the millions of Americans who would be 
left out in the cold if Medicare were to go bankrupt. They will not 
talk about the seniors who would be unable to meet their health care 
needs.
  Mr. Speaker, the liberals should acknowledge this report and work 
with Republicans to save Medicare.
