That's not a glitch, it's a national embarrassment. “American families deserve better than President Obama's broken promises and hollow apologies. It's time for action. It's time for President Obama to admit his broken health care law has failed, and join with House Republicans to stop this train wreck before it's too late.” Earlier today, the RSC’s alternative health care bill gained its 102nd cosponsor.
