did they? or are you taking their refusal to act on the bill as a vote against it? everything i have heard and read leads me to believe that there is still a glimmer of hope.

but if the disgusting republicans in the house don't do anything it won't just be medicare recipients suffering. long term unemployed and those of us already just scraping from one check to the next will be fucked.
