Senators Voinovich, DeWine are "Porkers of the Month"

The Citizens Against Government Waste has selected Ohio Senators George Voinovich, Mike DeWine, and Congressman Dave Hobson as the November "Porkers of the Month" for opposing certain language in a prescription drug bill. They are against legislation that would force Medicare into competitive bidding when it pays for durable medical equipment - wheelchairs, walkers, canes and the like.

Since competition in bidding has a tendency to keep prices at a minimum, one can only conclude that our lawmakers have a vested interest in keeping prices high.
