                                Medicare

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, some officials are proposing radical 
changes to our healthcare system. These proposals include Medicare for 
All, Medicare Buy-in, Medicaid for All, and expansion of the Affordable 
Care Act. All of these are versions of government-run healthcare.
  These are, of course, better campaign slogans than serious solutions 
to the problems facing Americans.
  On a certain level, I have found that most people would rather have 
control over their own healthcare than have the government make those 
decisions for them. A single-payer healthcare system would be 
devastating for our seniors, people with disabilities, and people with 
preexisting conditions.
  I yield the floor.
