Ted Cruz Will Oppose House’s Medicare-Reform Bill

Ted Cruz Will Oppose House’s Medicare-Reform Bill-nationaljournal: The Republican senators angling to become the party's next presidential candidate had the opportunity to vote on a major entitlement-reform bill Tuesday—and they were divided over it, opening the door for the issue to make an appearance in the primary campaign. The Senate overwhelmingly approved the permanent Medicare doc-fix bill, 92-8, and the White House has indicated that President Obama will sign the bill, which would put an end to one of Congress's most-hated rituals...Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida voted against the bill. Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina...voted for it.
