One thing we know: The 'Party of No' prefers the status quo
--the unaffordable and unsustainable status quo. They proved it last night with not one Republican voting against the healthcare special interests and for the American people. They even voted against the fixes to the Senate healthcare bill--they whined about at such great length.

And, in the Senate, watch the Republicans--led by Mitch McConnell, continue to obstruct. Remember, a vote against the fix is a vote to preserve the 'Cornhusker Kickback!'

1. Yep. Conserve - keep. Maintain. Their behavior is very consistent.
Big question - how can anyone vote for them, since their way does not bring any progress/advancement.

3. they also prefer partisanship to helping people
like how they removed the end of life counseling even though they used to support this sensible and very beneficial measure
