President Applauds Bipartisan Medicare Agreement
Statement by the President
The bipartisan Medicare agreement announced today by leaders in
Congress represents a significant achievement in our Nation's efforts
to provide affordable prescription drug coverage for our seniors.
Seniors have waited a long time for help in paying for prescription
drugs, and I am pleased that we are now on the verge of providing them
with the help they need and the health care choices they deserve. This
bipartisan agreement is the most significant improvement in senior
health care coverage in nearly forty years. I applaud the hard work
and the leadership from both sides of the aisle, and I urge the
Congress to pass this legislation soon so I can sign it into law.
