GOP word is out: ‘Get Baucus’
By Bob Cusack

Rep. Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) is closer than he has ever been to enacting Medicare prescription drug legislation. The chairman of the Medicare conference is known for moving controversial legislation through the House – sometimes by the slimmest of margins.

In trying to push a $400 billion Medicare reform bill to the president’s desk, he is facing perhaps his stiffest legislative challenge ever.

1. I love "The Hill"

They print all the "juicy" information.

2. No bill is better than the destroy Medicare and make it welfare GOP bill

The insurance company money seems to have bought all of the GOP and a few Democratic Party types.

I hope the GOP refuses the premium support (read give away to Insurance companies) "demonstration project" those Dems have on offer, and demand total premium support as they try to kill single payer universal health.

I'm sure that kind of bill will not get 60 votes in the Senate.
