We've seen Roberts put the interests of giant drug companies before Kansans before...but this one takes the cake.

On April 19, despite the support of a majority of the U.S. Senate and nearly 90 percent of voting-age Americans, Senate bill 3, which would have given Medicare the authority to negotiate prescription drug prices with drug companies, was blocked from coming up for a vote on the Senate floor. Sixty votes were necessary for the bill to pass, but it only received 57. A minority of senators, including Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, prevented a vote on legislation that could have lowered prescription drug costs for millions of Medicare beneficiaries.

So, the Senate was only three votes away from having a cure for the outrageous drug prices our seniors face today - and Mr. Roberts can take credit for that.

(Well, Sam Brownback didn't show up to vote, I guess...but he already told us he was "very sorry" for missing important votes like these. So, what can you do?)
