mr. womack. mr.ice: in close, my friend i want to point out what the house budget committee does to bring the budget within balance within 10 years. it's not all this, but three major things. one, it repeal os ba macare chst costs $2.1 trillion over the next 10 years. two initiates what's called premium support for medicare. what you're talking about. and it doesn't do away with medicare, and it doesn't affect anybody who is either retired or within re-- or retiring within eight years. but what it does for people that are outside that window, medicare still offered and they'll allow four other insurance companies to bid for medicare coverage. the government won't pay for the cheapest, it'll pay for the second cheapest. if you want to buy a cheaper policy, you can. and you'll get money. if you want to buy a more expensive policy you can, but you'll have to pay a little bit more for it. but that is a huge savings in medicare. something that we have to do. so premium support for medicare, repeel obamaca
