12 Republicans Oppose Paying for Doc Fix
Less than 30 days after Senate Republicans passed their budget, they passed legislation that violated it.
The so-called ‘doc fix’ legislation to adjust Medicare reimbursement rates for physicians would add $500 billion to the nation’s debt over the next 20 years.
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) gave conservatives a voice by offering an amendment to force Congress to pay for the legislation, but the amendment was defeated when these 12 Republicans join all 46 Democrats in voting against it.
- Alexander (R-TN)
- Capito (R-WV)
- Cassidy (R-LA)
- Cochran (R-MS)
- Collins (R-ME)
- Cornyn (R-TX)
- Graham (R-SC)
- Hatch (R-UT)
- Heller (R-NV)
- McConnell (R-KY)
- Perdue (R-GA)
- Tillis (R-NC)
These Republicans apparently have no interest in balancing the budget.
Here are the 42 Republicans who did the right thing and voted in favor of Senator Lee’s amendment.
- Ayotte (R-NH)
- Barrasso (R-WY)
- Blunt (R-MO)
- Boozman (R-AR)
