House conservatives sought unsuccessfully this week to convince the House to endorse cutting the cost of a Medicare prescription-drug benefit by requiring wealthy seniors to pay more of their own drug costs.

The House on Tuesday defeated, on a 234-161 vote, a Republican motion that would have asked House and Senate negotiators to include "means-testing" as part of the new Medicare prescription-drug benefit Congress is trying to create.

This is what happens when we settle for RINO pukes! Vote Conservative or why bother voting Republican!? House/Senate/WH control are irrelevant, if they are all RINO's. They may as well be all dims! Bankrupting this Nation is the goal, RINO's and dims, same same! Blackbird.
