GOP senators blocked a Medicare bill that would have increased payments to doctors by a whopping 1.1%. As a result payments to doctors with be CUT 10% beginning next week.

The bill passed the House by a 6 to 1 margin!!! But 40 twisted excuses for human beings in the Senate managed to block the bill. Every senator voted, except two: Ted Kennedy who has brain cancer.... and JOHN MCCAIN!

Yeah, I heard about the vote yesterday, but didn't know McCain was skipping.

Then again, it's Friday, and he doesn't work weekends.
