estimates that if the States expand coverage as far as they could to pick up illegal aliens and people of any age group or income group. but if Mr. BARTON is correct. and I think it is reasonable that there is no real way to calculate how much this bill costs. we are adding a monstrous and inexcusable financial debt on the back backs of our children. You are taking away Medicare coverage from seniors and allowing States to give it to illegal aliens. This is outrageous. it is unacceptable. it is unaffordable. and you are going to break the back of the taxpayers of this country. And 1. for one. will stand at this microphone and all of us have an obligation to stand up here like Horatio at the gates of Rome.
