The Democrats are against it because:

1. It isn't enough government expansion for them, and
2. It's an opportunity to grandstand by telling seniors that the greedy GOP will only steal $400 billion to pay for their drugs, while the Dems will steal far more

Make no mistake. There is no redeeming quality in this bill.

You forget also the Medical Savings Accounts, which the Democrats dont like, and the medicare premium increases about $80,000 income level.

It's bizarre how the precise elements that make this bill worth considering are the provisions the Democrats are dead set against.
