House Minority Leader John Boehner with his argument that any real bipartisan effort at reform must begin by scrapping the existing House and Senate bills and starting fresh from a clean slate. basically stalling so they could have something to bash during the elections and the guaranteed money they will have received from the anti Health-care Lobby.
Bipartisan for republicans is for Democrats to forget about Health-care Reform. they don’t bring anything to the conversation besides talking points that have been proven to be incorrect. No ideas but keeping the status quo. (more…)
