9. They caved
again.

Apparently because the Senate "promised" to fix it later. You would think that one group of spineless liars would know better than to believe another group of the same.

I hope they enjoyed the short time they had the majority because once the public figures out that "reform" means no relief from increasing premiums and out of pockets and no guarantee of care - they won't have it for long.

Not that the sell outs will care, they'll all collect nice government pensions plus pick up some very lucrative jobs as lobbyists once they leave "public" service.
