My mom starts Medicare next year and she really needs it due to her insanely high insurance premiums. Does this mean she won't get it anymore?

Why are Republicans so freakin evil? Why can't they just all be struck by lightning already.

They already burned their reconciliation vote for the year on taxcut bill, so they need 60 to overcome filibuster.
Senators have to run and win statewide races and that means they have to justify this to Blue districts and that ain't gonna fly even in the reddest of states.
This is the House Majority throwing legislative red meat to their base.

Right?
