                        MEDICARE ON THE HIT LIST

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, down-size, out-source, privatize, 
erode, dismount, turn back the clock, all buzz words which characterize 
the thought and actions of many of our Republican colleagues. And now 
Medicare is on the hit list. And our seniors are being told that they 
are going to get a prescription drug plan. Yes, we need a plan, but we 
do not need one that dismantles Medicare. We do not need one that turns 
back the clock. We do not need one that skyjacks our seniors and prices 
them out of the market. They want real government for all people, 
including our seniors.
