              AMERICA MUST REJECT REPUBLICAN MEDICARE PLAN

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Madam Speaker, after only 1 day of hearings, the 
Republicans have finally released their plan 

[[Page H 9678]]
to kill Medicare. The American people know exactly what the Republicans 
are doing.
  The Republican plan is to cut $270 billion out of Medicare to pay for 
a tax cut for the rich. Because of this, seniors' premiums will be 
increased, seniors will be put out of nursing homes, medical services 
will decrease, drug costs will increase. Finally, Madam Speaker, under 
the Republican plan, the elderly will die prematurely.
  America must reject this cold, this cruel, and this heartless 
Republican plan to kill Medicare.
