i spoke to doctor neil hyman, the college university of vermont college of medicine. he told me that colon cancer screenings are absolutely essential to early detection of cancer. again, i'm not telling you anything you don't know, but just this week he saw, this week he saw a 64 year old patient who could not afford to receive regular screenings. by the way, those are free to him now. like many others he was waiting to qualify for medicare, 64, he needed another year. he waited too long. now instead of catching the disease in its early stages, he is suffering from metastatic colon cancer. this is real. the decisions that you are making israel. this is not campaign rhetoric. you want to campaign. you were effective in your arguments, but you're making a real decision. you are part of the united states congress, and the policies we make are not about campaign rhetoric. it's not about the next election. it's about what's going to happen to the rutland regional medical center, what's going to happen to this man just metastatic cancer, that could have been detected. there
