Democrats Lose Big Test Vote on Health Legislation
New York Times, by Robert Pear and David M. Herszenhorn
WASHINGTON — Democrats lost a big test vote on health care legislation on Wednesday as the Senate blocked action on a bill to increase Medicare payments to doctors at a cost of $247 billion over 10 years. The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, needed 60 votes to proceed. He won only 47. And he could not blame Republicans. A dozen Democrats and one independent crossed party lines and voted with Republicans http://lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=500727 Harry Reid is blaming the Republicans.
