It is truly unfortunate that we were not successful in eliminating these provisions as there are many aspects of this legislation that do adhere to the balanced budget agreement and could have positive fiscal. economic and social ramifications. But. I had to send the message that I could not support any legislation that jeopardizes Medicare. It is difficult for me to vote no on this entire reconciliation package. This legislation will fix the devastating impact of welfare reform for disabled. lowincome. legal immigrants. It provides an additional $16 billion for childrens health care initiatives. It allows for an expansion of prevention benefits for Medicare beneficiaries.
