Today, House Republicans brought another bill (HR 1216) to the House floor that does not address jobs and wastes time in a futile attempt to repeal part of the Affordable Care Act. House Democrats are staging a "mini-filibuster" by "striking the last word" allowing them five minutes of time to discuss their strong opposition to the Republican-passed budget which ends Medicare as we know it and forces seniors to pay over $6,000 more a year.

  • In a way it's good what's happening now. People are seeing the Republican party for what they are! Corporate lackeys . . .

  • We need insurance, drug and medical caps along with liability caps and maybe even curb legal interests which have really blown our whole health cares system out of whack because of greed. Well done Congressman Markey.

  • The problem with the Republicans for which I am one is they have lost sight of running the country for the people by the people. They have adopted policies for the corporates by the corporates. I believe that if you hold office you should not be able to have any financial interests when it comes to any vote in the house when it comes down to corporate interests. Medicare?... you can't touch it because it has been bought and paid for.
