You have shown none of those things in the bill. You simply are a water carrying toadie for the GOP acting as their public relations man on this site. A drastic reduction does not yield the "same benefits" no matter what partisan spin you attempt to put on it.
The Republicans tried to kill this bill and it was only extraordinary efforts to show them to be the self centered Scrooges that they are that propelled them to finally support the effort. Jon Stewart played one of the Dicken's spirits and scared them into support simply not to continue with the Scrooge routine which was damaging their rep.
No, Republicans did not try to kill the bill. They took the fat, pork, and giveaways to lawyers out of it making it a good bill. Before it was a bad bill.
