President Clinton has threatened to veto the Medicare Rx 2000 Act. I am optimistic that he will reconsider his position and sign this bill into law. Prescription drug coverage is just too important to senior citizens across the United States to be jeopardized by partisanship. With the stroke of his pen the President can help our country meet a pressing need that is truly of national importance. This plan is affordable, available, and voluntary for beneficiaries in every part of the country.
Senior citizens are the real winners.
I look forward to this important plan becoming law.
