4. huh?
How does this help the Democrats win back the Senate? It was the Democrats who put this bill over the top. Enough Republicans voted against it that it never would have passed without 'bipartisan' support.

The whole issue is off the table for next year. Democrats can hardly be the party of "protecting Medicare" when they themselves allowed this monstrosity to pass.
