Yesterday the committee accepted an amendment on the floor which provides that any alien who has come here and resided in this country for a period of 6 months can qualify under title I and title II for medical coverage. He does not have to pay for it. or at the most he pays $3. If we are to show all this concern for all people such as the Cuban refugees and other aliens. should we not stop and think about some of those who have been in this country for a long time and buying E bonds or who have retired with small savings and now. as a result of inflation find that they are forced to live on welfare? We can reduce the deficit by assessing some of the cost of the bill to those who can afford it and can pay for It. Why should we pay the medical bill of a man who has an income of $100.000 a year or a million dollars a year income?
