00:00:01 TO FACE THESE SENIORS AND SAY, WELL, WAIT FOUR MORE YEARS.
00:00:05 HOW ARE THEY GOING TO FACE THESE SENIORS THAT ARE THROWN INTO TERRIBLE SITUATIONS AND SAY, WELL, WE DIDN'T DO IT BUT WE'RE GOING TO.
00:00:16 WE'RE WITH YOU.
00:00:18 WE'RE GOING TO DO IT SOME DAY.
00:00:20 HOW ARE THEY GOING TO FACE A LITTLE BOY THAT'S LOST HIS LIMBS.
00:00:30 MR.
00:00:31 PALLONE: MAYBE THEY ADDRESS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT COMES TO THEIR OFFICE.
00:00:38 THE BOTTOM LINE IS EVERYONE IS SUFFERING.
00:00:41 NOT EVERY PERSON IS ABLE.
00:00:42 BUT IT'S WHERE THE INSURANCE COMPANY COMES ALONG AND SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE A PARTICULAR PROCEDURE.
00:00:48 AND I DON'T CARE HOW -- WHAT YOUR SITUATION IS, YOU

Mr. BERRY. I thank the gentleman from New Jersey again. One of the things that I wonder about is our Republican leadership here, as I have said, they have refused to pass a patients' bill of rights and a prescription drug benefit for our seniors, and I wonder how they are going to face these seniors and say, well, wait 4 more years. How are they going to face these seniors that are thrown into terrible situations and say, well, we did not do it, but we are going to. We are with you. We are going to do it some day. How are they going to face a little boy that has lost his limbs?
