The only thing this does is help Democrats will older voters. Boehner is doing everything possible to undermine conservatives.

Spot on. Bonehead is anti-TEA/anti-conservatives.

He's a DIABLO...

Dim In All But Label, Overall.

Yep, the "Two Party Cartel" is alive & well. Except for maybe 10% of CONgress the remainder could go to hell in a hand basket. I double hate that whole D.C crowd.

If someone is on the ballot from the Green Party or the Looney Party in Boehner’s district, vote for them in November. They can’t possibly be any worse.

I can't imagine that a ground swell against this bastard would not happen.

If you cut doctors’ payments for medicare too much they will simply stop caring for medicare paients because it isn’t worth their time. Many don’t accept medicare now becuase the return on their time along with the bureaucratic nightmare of dealing with medicare simple isn’t worth it to them.

Amen! My wife is an insurance biller and most people have no idea how little the actual allowed for visits and procedures is. On top of that the unbelievable stalling games they play to hold up payments is crazy. I don't know how many times my wife working a claim has been shuffled around their phone system for 30 min. or more just to have them hang up.

The GOPe DID NOT want their names with a YEA vote beside it. I am not surprised.

The leadership didn’t have any conservatives in the House to oppose or call for a roll call vote. Treachery, of course.

Is your theory that AFTER the elections the Republicans will vote to slash medicare payments?

And take full responsibility for killing poor people, as the Democrats will claim?

The issue is the short term. Doctors want to know what's ahead for them in the next 5 or 10 years.

This just gets the Dems (actually both) past the election on even ground.

My bet is that they will raise the amount taken out of everyone's paycheck.
