It would be hard to blame you for having trouble taking much of what is said in Washington seriously. You heard about the Medicare actuary who was forced to fudge the numbers and lie to Congress to keep his job. You heard the falsified numbers in Iraq on ...

You can look at that by comparing Medicare`s growth rates to the private insurance world, to the other Federal programs that we run, by looking at the billions of dollars, not millions but billions of dollars, we waste every year.
Bobby Jindal
Workers organized and fought for worker rights and food safety, Social Security and Medicare - they fought to change government. And they won.

When people see the budget, they`re going to say, `Oh, my God, I wanted a tax cut, but I didn`t know what you were going to do to health care and to Medicare and national defense.`
Alicia Munnell
When Medicare was first enacted in 1965, it provided coverage for hospitalization, doctor visits and surgeries, but there was no coverage for prescription medications.
Michael Burgess
When Medicare was created for senior citizens and America `s disabled in 1965, about half of a senior`s health care spending was on doctors and the other half on hospitals.
Dennis Hastert
What Canada has to do is to have a government connected to the priorities of the people of which it is elected to serve. Those priorities include ensuring medicare is sustainable, support for the military, and tax and justice systems that work.
Peter MacKay
We`re talking about patients who are for the most part 65 years of age or older. Eighty-two percent of Medicare patients who want the medication have co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesteremia and prostate disease.
Michael Kaplan
We not only heard it before 20 years ago, before George Bush in 2001 passed his tax relief, before in 2003 the tax relief were past, we were told they were dead. Before we provided prescription drugs for Medicare, we were told it wasn`t going to happen.
Ken Mehlman
We like what we are beginning to see in the bill, but we have not seen full details. There needs to be a start. This establishes within Medicare a real benefit that could be meaningful.
Lisa Davis
We don`t understand anything. We get packet after packet from company after company. I`ve called AARP and Medicare. You don`t know who is trying to help you and who is trying to sell you something.
Ann Thompson
We are not aware of any hospital in the state of Iowa being terminated from participation in the Medicare program as a result of an EMTALA violation. I cannot tell you how many violations have been investigated. There have been very few, if any, terminati...

Today, Medicare provides health insurance to about 40 million seniors and disabled individuals each year. The number is only expected to grow as the baby boomers begin retiring.

This is what happens when you privatize Medicare. The Medicare prescription drug benefit is a massive giveaway to pharmaceutical companies, creating disastrous health effects for the nation`s poor and elderly citizens.

Their belief is the patient was discharged in an unstable condition; based upon that they provided us with the notice yesterday (Tues.) that they were going to terminate the involvement in the Medicare program and eligibility for that.
Arthur C. Martinez
The President`s budget pays for only six months of the war in Iraq and completely overlooks the transition costs of Social Security reform. The Administration always lied about the cost of the Medicare drug bill.
Jim Cooper
The money the president wants to borrow for Iraq will come directly out of the American taxpayer wallets in the form of Medicare and Social Security receipts. That`s your money.
Robert Byrd
The first year of the Bush administration we used up all of the surplus and ended up just with the Social Security and Medicare surplus, and each year worse than the year before.
Bobby Scott
That dispute arose under the previous Liberal administration which favored abortion on demand. Unless the new minister, Tony Clement, favors Medicare fraud, he should drop the matter. It is not about being for or against abortion, it is a question of resp...

Tens of billions of dollars could be saved in Medicare and Medicaid alone by eliminate fraud and improving patient care. Not only would this save money, but it will save lives.
Tim Murphy
Sometimes in this whole Medicare prescription drug debate, we focus on the prescription drug benefit, and I am glad we do because it is the first time we have ever offered real help to seniors, especially the poor, those in need.
Allan Cribbins
Rather than squander the surplus on tax breaks for the rich, we should add a prescription drug benefit to the Medicare program, shore up Social Security, fortify our defense, provide a quality public education and offer economic assistance to rural areas.
