Higher Medicare Costs Suspected for Months (washingtonpost.com)
So let me get this straight. You say that the new drug bill will make Medicare 'more competitive' with private insurers, then you say that since you now think more people will sign up for the private insurance instead of Medicare, the cost of the bill will go up 25%. Explain to me again what you mean by 'more competitive'. Uh, Senator Kennedy, what was the part of this bill you found so appealing?
