Doc fix? Hell, Yes! Extension of unemployment benefits? No way!
We have the highest paid doctors in the world, yet the House Republicans refuse to extend unemployment benefits--which is the second most effective stimulative benefit to the economy--after food stamps! Do not profess your concern for the economy and job creation, Speaker Boehner. It rings hollow!

House to vote on budget deal
By Russell Berman and Erik Wasson
The House is expected to vote Thursday on a two-year deal that would represent the first bipartisan budget compromise of the new divided-government era.
GOP leaders expect their measure will pass, despite complaints from House Democrats that it includes a fix to prevent a cut in doctor payments but does not extend federal unemployment benefits set to expire this month.
