Thank You for Voting No

Thank you to the 183 Republicans and Democrats who voted against H.R. 3961, the so-called “Doc Fix” legislation. As many of you know, we had grave concerns with this legislation. Our concerns did not necessarily stem from the underlying policy, but rather the partisan political tactic being played. H.R. 3961 was an underhanded attempt to deceive taxpayers and artificially deflate the cost...

Democrats Raise Re-Imbursement Rates For Medicare Doctors Over Determined GOP Opposition

July 30, 1965, LBJ signs Medicare bill, Truman looks on, Republicans start plotting how to kill the program Yesterday the House voted 243-183 , only one Republican, Michael Burgess (R-TX) joining the Democrats, to pass John Dingell's Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act of 2009 (H.R. 3961). The bill will "revise the Medicare sustainable growth rate (SGR) payment system for determining the annual...

Gensler Urges Congress to Drop Exemptions

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler urged Congress to avoid exempting hedge funds and other U.S. companies from new trading, capital and disclosure rules proposed for the $605 trillion over-the-counter derivatives industry. “I do not see public policy reasons to exempt standard derivative transactions from a transparency requirement,” Gensler said today in prepared...

For those of you scoring at home

The "Blue Dog" Democrats, 44 'fiscally conservative' congresspersons, did not acquit themselves well in this year, says the Heritage Foundation, via Stephen Moore : On three votes that would massively expand the size of government -- the stimulus plan, cap and trade, and health care reform -- Blue Dogs mostly were AWOL. "Of the 52 House Blue Dogs, only four voted against all three,"...

The Congressional Healthcare Confusion

Note: This article ran as an opinion piece in the Dunn County News. Confused about the healthcare bill? You’re not alone to be sure. Just take a look at some of our local Midwestern representative’s statements and let your head spin. I’m not even talking of the partisan debate. Take three rural Democratic Congressmen: Collin Peterson (D-MN), Jim Oberstar (D-MN), and our own Ron Kind...

Feed the world sustainably by 2050? Yes, we can!

by Tom Laskawy Adding a bit more data to food system reformers’ arguments, a new study led by Germany’s prestigious Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research takes on the question of whether we can “feed the world” while preserving the planet come 2050. Short answer: Yes! Researchers modeled various agricultural styles, growth patterns, and diets. Here’s what they...

Fix agrees: Paulsen's HCR vote a tough one

The Fix agrees with the assessment I made yesterday : Erik Paulsen's "no" vote on the health care reform bill was a tough one. 2. The five toughest votes, politically, against the bill: Reps. Mike Castle (R-Del.), Larry Kissell (D-N.C.), Leonard Lance (R-N.J.), Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.) and Dave Reichert (R-Wash.). Castle is seeking a Senate seat in 2010 in a state where President Obama won...

Republican Anh "Joseph" Cao Shows More Conscience Than Democrats Who Voted "No"

The Republican tally for House votes in favor of health care reform: one. That one affirmative voter is Representative Anh "Joseph" Cao (left) of Louisiana. Explaining his vote, Cao said : “I read the versions of the House bill. I listened to the countless stories of Orleans and Jefferson Parish citizens whose health care costs are exploding — if they are able to obtain health...

The Real Traitors

Last night Heath Shuler loudly proclaimed: "I do not want my job next year." Votes to poison bill as alleged compromise and then still votes to kill it. Women's rights set back several decades.

Paulsen also deserves a whack for his vote on HCR bill

I'm never one to give up a chance to slam Third district Congressman Erik Paulsen for a terrible vote. His "no" vote on the HCR bill that passed the House last night is a great example of what Collin Peterson should have done -- take a district who voted for the other party's presidential candidate (Obama won more than 52% in the Third last year) and explain to constituents why you voted...

In truth, a Medicare type supplement insurance will be available. Anyway, to help them out, and make retribution easier,...

Peterson votes against party, president, people

Not unsurprisingly, many Blue Dog Democrats voted against the health care reform bill that passed the House of Representatives last night. Minnesota's Collin Peterson was among them . The normal argument these Representatives use when making votes like these is that they have to demonstrate their centrist credentials to "voters back home" because their districts are so conservative. The subtext,...
