I have to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who have helped us pass a bill that would have added a million additional children. It was a far better bill for children. It would have expanded coverage to legal immigrant children. It was better also for senior citizens. But I also have to thank our leadership and the commitment of Speaker PELOSI to suggest that when we come back. after. as we expect this bill will be vetoed. we will remember that there were a tremendous number of proposals in here which would have helped not only children. but seniors. financial help for lowincome seniors. mental health parity for Medicare. improved Medicare benefits and health benefits. preventive care. rural health parity. consumer protections in part D. improved dialysis procedures. protection of Medicare from privatization. and the preservation of the Medicare system by doing away with the excessive spending in Medicare Advantage.
