Speaker Pelosi - Medicare Veto Override

The House has just voted overwhelmingly, 383 to 41, to override the President's veto of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, H.R. 6331. This legislation prevents the pending 10 percent payment reduction for physicians in Medicare, enhances Medicare preventive and mental health benefits, improves and extends programs for low-income Medicare beneficiaries, and extends expiring provisions for rural and other providers. On July 15, the President vetoed this legislation, and the House voted to override the President's veto and pass the Medicare Improvements Act. Speaker Pelosi spoke in favor.

Bush never had to pay to see a doctor...He never had to pump his own gas.... He thinks people are like little puppy dogs...to just say "How cute" and then go in the house and shut the door...leaving the American people standing in the rain.... What a sorry excuse for a leader.

No Wonder Pelosi is pushing for a healthcare bill that raises taxes, she needs more of our money to buy herself and her cronies luxury jets to run around the country. Last year, lawmakers excoriated CEOs ror traveling by private jet to attend a hearing about a bailout of their companies. Apparently Congress is not averse to private air travel for themselves. This July, the House approved nearly $200 million for the Air Force to buy three elite Gulfstream jets for Members of Congress.

"Bush never had to pay to see a doctor...He never had to pump his own gas" how is that different than any other president?

the good thing about America is that it provides people with more than enough opportunity to go out an earn a living, the government doesn't need to wipe everyones ass

Kennedy came even tho he's fresh out of brain surgery, to see this bill thru because he knew he couldnt leave it to Nancy Pelosi!

he had to come personally no matter how shitty he felt! he comes to kick ass and chew bubble gum to help the sick and Working Class, rain or shine, hell or high water, whether barely alive or in so much pain he wishes he was dead, for the cause of helping low income people, always and often!

never understate the Kennedy integrity even if you do other Democrats!
