Republicans who claim to worry about health care costs have one last chance to act and that is to join Democrats in supporting our bill for a clean three year extension. Finally, on these NOMS packages that are coming forward today, Senate Republicans are moving forward on a new nominee package that is chock full of horribly unqualified, shockingly radical nominees.
