If medicine was practiced in 1965 the way it's practiced today, there's no question that prescriptions would have been included in Medicare. ↗

When people see the budget, they're going to say, 'Oh, my God, I wanted a tax cut, but I didn't know what you were going to do to health care and to Medicare and national defense.' ↗
