Republican Congressman: Socialized medicine is knocking on the door, America
It’s become so obvious that politicians on both sides of the aisle are acknowledging it and proposing solutions to fix it. The majority of House Republicans voted to pass the American Health Care Act in May, which currently awaits debate in the Senate.

Republicans: Military broke law searching for Gitmo alternative
A trio of Kansas Republicans is accusing the Pentagon of breaking the law by spending money to survey potential Guantánamo Bay replacements in their state and elsewhere. “Rather than spending zero dollars on site surveys, as mandated by U.S. law, the Department of Defense has spent over $25,000,” the lawmakers wrote to Defense Secretary Ash Carter in a letter released Monday. “This is following neither the letter nor spirit of the law.” The letter was sent by Kansas Republican Reps.
