Republican lawmakers were invited to designate four lawmakers to serve as non-voting members, and Democrats were invited to do the same.
Sen. Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record), the Democratic leader in the Senate, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), the Democratic leader in the House, said that they would not accept an advisory role for lawmakers rather than a voting role.
"Unfortunately, the partisan nature of the commission and the lack of voting rights are not our only reasons for refusing to appoint members," the two lawmakers said in a prepared statement. "We fundamentally disagree with the premise that this commission should make recommendations on how to cut Medicaid outlays by $10 billion by Sept. 1."
yes... because you know making it happen through LEGISLation thats not enough vote or input
and the republican members of congress didn't have a vote either
