Recording (a little over an hour) of a Save PPACA rally today with four senators: Sanders, Schumer, Stabenow, and Peters. I was at a rally in Newark (I don't have a URL for footage, although there were at least 12 camera operators working) where both New Jersey senators, Booker and Menendez, turned up. Some points to them for courage, because they got booed a lot by people who are angry at them for voting against allowing re-importation of drugs from Canada.
Six is a pretty good chunk of all the Democrats in the Senate, when you think of it.

I'm willing to suppose Booker at least had some good reason for voting against, as he has a track record of concern for his constituents' well-being. Does he worry that lowering drug prices will be used as a substitute for keeping the ACA (or for replacing it with something that works as well or better)?
