Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act.
After nearly unanimous passage in the U.S. House, this critical and urgently needed legislation fell just one vote shy of moving forward when Obstructionist-in-Chief Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Bush-Republicans decided they were more interested in their loyalty to the President and insurance companies than standing up for seniors, people with disabilities, pharmacists and doctors," said Jeremy Funk, of Americans United for Change which has been working to eliminate wasteful insurance company subsidies under the Medicare Advantage program. Cuts to such subsidies, in part, would have been used to prevent cuts to physicians' reimbursements under Medicare that will still take place this month thanks to Republican obstructionism. "Their obstructionism was a microcosm of the McConnell-Bush-Republican Legacy: put the corporate interests first and everyone else be damned. Of course, after eight years where Bush-McConnell-Republicans have tried every maneuver to dismantle the safety net for seniors -- from the failed effort to privatize Social Security, to the giveaways to big Pharma in the Medicare prescription drug program -- should anyone really be surprised. But, Senator McConnell will get one more shot to do the right thing tomorrow. The question is -- this time, will Mitch McConnell change course and stand with Kentucky seniors or with Bush and the insurance companies which have put us in this healthcare mess in the first place.
