   EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS IN THE MEDICARE TRUSTEES REPORT

  (Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, it has been said that Republicans 
live in paranoid fear that the American people will not discover the 
truth and that the Democrats live in paranoid fear that they will 
discover the truth. 

[[Page H8180]]
The current debate over Medicare clearly shows the wisdom of this 
statement.
  Here is a copy of the Medicare trustees report. It says that 
immediate action is needed to save Medicare from bankruptcy. As a 
Republican, and as a concerned citizen, I want every American to get 
hold of this report. 202-224-3121 is the number for their 
Representative. They should ask for the Medicare trustees summary 
report. I want the American people to know what is in this report. It 
is important that the people decide for themselves if this report is 
valid.
  If this report is true, then we need to get real serious, real quick 
about saving Medicare. It does not help when Democrats try to 
politicize and demagog this very important issue.
