Health Care

It seems the democrats have enough votes, 60, to pass their health bill without the problem of a filibuster. Ben Nelson from Nebraska was purchased. While about 20 million people who are currently uninsured will be forced into the Medicaid program, only Nebraska will be exempt from the costs of this unfunded mandate. In fact, Nebraska will be exempt forever. All other states will have to pay more. Of course, all this occurs while states are in serious budgetary problems.
