It is because they dont want the American people to know what they are doing until it is too late. And they dont want Members of Congress to know what they are voting on and what the true effects of the legislation will be. They dont want the 780.000 seniors in the state of Floridaincluding over 40.000 seniors in my congressional districtto know that their Medicare benefits will be cut in order to provide health insurance to nonU.S. citizens. including illegal immigrants. and millions of children who already have health coverage. They dont want 8 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans across this Nation to know that their benefits are being cut so that the SCHIP program can be expanded to subsidize health care benefits for adults in states like New Jersey. some with annual incomes of $80.000 per year. They want to hide from Americas seniors the fact that Medicare benefits are being cut in order to subsidize health care benefits to a new group of "children" who happen to be between 18 and 25 years of age.
