Kucinich on "reform"

In response to the recent Medicare reform approved by Congress, Kucinich said that the term “reform” was being used very loosely. “Every time you hear this administration use the term reform, get hold of your wallets, lock your doors, and bolt your windows” because special interests are coming to “raid your wallets.” He said the new Medicare plan would favor private insurers and allow pharmaceutical companies to charge Medicare whatever they want for drugs. It took cost containment out of the bill and hurts the program, he said.
