In terms of the fairness issue. which I have talked about earlier and we debated on this floor. once you start granting special privilege to the few. then there is always the question about why somebody else was not given the benefits. Why are programs such as migrant health centers more important than veterans health care programs? Why have some been chosen rather than others? And. of course. we decided in the Senate to the extend of our ability to include everything in the pot.
