183 Republicans vote against making prescription drugs cheaper

[ffr]

Republicans also rejected provisions aimed at strengthening protections for people with preexisting conditions.

House Democrats overcame massive opposition from Republicans to pass a bill aimed at reining in prescription drug costs and protecting people with preexisting conditions. The measure, the MORE Health Education Act, passed Thursday evening by a 234-183 vote, with all the no votes coming from Republicans.

Only five Republicans sided with all the chamber's Democrats in supporting the bill. - ShareBlue

BAM! Both parties do it, false equivalency???

The differences between a democrat and a republis couldn't be more stark!

2. While these rich (mostly) white men loot the treasury, our planet burns.

They think they will survive & all the takers & eaters (us) will die, & they're probably right about that, but I don't think they're prepared for what this planet is going to be like in another 50-100 years. Visiting your million dollar bunker on the weekend is not the same as living in it.

He who dies with the most toys, still dies.

8. And when things get really, really bad, that trip on the weekend

to your million dollar bunker might be fraught with peril Mr. Congressman. People with nothing more to lose can be rather testy at times.

3. Want to see Republicans care about prescription drug prices?

Take Cialis and Viagra off the prescription drug formulary, and let the price be set by the free market.

4. They love their Pharma money more than keeping people alive.

5. And drug consumers will still vote for them

6. Can there be any doubt as to who these politicians are working for?

Republican voters who aren't in the 1% are the biggest morons.

7. Lets see how the vote in the Senate goes.

9. Then there should be 183 TV ads

Being prepared so that next year those ads can be used to "remove" these people from the House, and ads for every Senator who votes against this bill.
