That would raise federal spending by $53.2 billion over the next decade. Democrats called the measure a misguided effort to undermine a health care law that has steeply lowered the number of uninsured in the country and has helped slow the growth of health care costs.

To paraphrase Barry Goldwater: extremism in the defense of Koch Industries is no vice.
