"We have come to an agreement on principle,"

Well, lets wait and see where "Republican principle" takes us...left or right?

Are you kidding? The only difference between the GOP and the Rats is how fast the train will be going when it hits the wall.

Well, there goes the prescription drug insurance promised to me on retirement for the wife and I.

The wife and I both are on several prescription drugs and have been for years.

I have no doubt my old company will now drop the program like a hot potato. Thanks to these bumbling idiotic politicians we will now have to pay more for less and some frigging faceless bureaucrat will make us jump to their tune now.

At times such as now I have a real and visceral hatred of these damned politico arse holes. They destroy peoples lives for feel good wrong headed reasons.

I can assure you, the poor through welfare, SSI, and Medicaid have some of the best medical and prescription drug programs available.

The vast majority of the retired have a prescription drug insurance as we have. And now for being somewhat successful earlier in life, we are now being hung out to dry by a bunch of b@$t@rds in power who don't have a clue.

"Republican principle". Now THERE'S an oxymororn!

Sponsoring and supporting an expansion of Medicare is a complete trashing of Republican principles. Republicans have clearly abandoned principles in search of re-election. Republicans are now corrupt political whores, differing from Democrats only by how long they have been whores.

I have never voted for Democrat for a national office or for an executive or legislative office holder at the state level. If Republicans pass this bill into law expanding Medicare, I will never again vote for any Republican currently holding elected office.

Democrats threw away the Constitution in 1913. Now that Republicans seem intent on compromising the Constitution, Republicans have joined Democrats as the enemies of freedom. I am not going to vote for the lesser of two evils. The United States is reaching the stage where it needs to turn away completely from its descent into socialistic hell or we will be better off once it completes its descent into socialistic hell and disintegrates completely.

Democracies are unworkable forms of government. They end in bankruptcies or in revolution from tyrranies of the majority. The United States was on track to be bankrupt before 2016. If this bill becomes law, US bankruptcy is going to happen sooner, rather than later.
