Compare that to 40% of all Democrats who voted 'no' for the bill. Even in the second attempt, 54% of Republicans vetoed the bill compared to 37% of Democrats.
Also, as for your remark on China's medicine for diabetes; since when did China thoroughly test their medicine and pharmaceutical drugs? They don't.
Actually, there was a ton of people on both sides of the aisle that simply didn't vote on the bill. They're being smart and not touching this with a ten foot pole.
