                     TODAY WE VOTE TO SAVE MEDICARE

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, today is the day we vote to save, protect, 
and preserve Medicare. Today is the day we show the seniors that we 
care about them and their future.
  The Medicare Preservation Act is an honest, realistic, up-front bill, 
that provides real reform for our current Medicare system. It will 
ensure that seniors have the right to stay in their present Medicare 
plan, but will also offer choices to those looking for a change.
  The Medicare Preservation Act attacks waste, fraud, and abuse in 
order to provide real accountability for the taxpayers dollars.
  Yes, Mr. Speaker, today is the day we vote to save Medicare for the 
next generation. I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the 
Medicare Preservation Act.
