Here's what I'm hearing. The deal for Ben Nelson includes additional Medicaid funding for Nebraska and carve outs for physician owned hospitals in Nebraska — and Nebraska only. Uncle Sam will take the hit for 100% of the Medicaid expansion for Nebraska, forever. Nebraska is the only state to get this deal.
It profits a man nothing give his soul for the whole world, but for Medicaid funding carve outs....

Why aren’t ALL the SENATORS DEMANDING THIS?????<P.If the bill is so damned good, why does THIS need to done and Mary Ho Landrieu’s 300 MILLION dollar bribe also??? WHORES...they are ALL WHORES!!
Any senator that votes for this bill and doesn’t get the same deal for his state sold his/her voters short.
They should have to answer to their voters for selling them short.
And that's what anymore, 30% of the population?
William Wallace: There’s a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.

LOL - it’s all guessing! Nelson’s deal? Says who? NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHAT’S IN THE BILL!
This whole thing is a farce of such immense proportions that it, alone, sums up the government’s rejection of the entire Constitution.
That passing a bill - ANY bill - without reading it, has become accepted, indicates not only the complete loss of any hint of integrity, but the acceptance of a Caligula-level of laughing insanity in the halls of Congress.
To not read something that seizes a sixth of the economy while making health insurance which BLOCKS medical access a universally mandated, criminally enforced part of the IRS is so far beyond sanity, there are no words to describe it.
Except perhaps Rubicon.
Just a thought but just maybe this IS the goal.That way with all states demanding the medicaid help...well instant socialized medicine..this is a stealthy way to get to the goal line of Obamacare..
We are going to be under the jackboot of the UN before long.
Lincoln Surgical Hospital (Lincoln, Neb.)
Lincoln Surgical Hospital was founded in 1994 by some of Nebraska’s leading ophthalmologists. Since that time, the hospital has expanded its line to include many other surgical specialties beyond eye surgery and has maintained a patient-centered focus that keeps it listed among the best hospitals in Nebraska. In 2008, Lincoln Surgical Hospital, which is led by CEO Robb Linafelter, was ranked number one in the state in six areas by HCAHPS: communication with nurses, discharge information, responsiveness of hospital, overall hospital rating, pain management and quietness of hospital environment. The staff members at Lincoln Surgical Hospital routinely provide personal and attentive care to patients, as evidenced by patient testimonials. Respondents at the U.S. News & World Report index also rate the staff highly, with 91 percent of patients saying they received quick help when they needed it.
Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital (Omaha, Neb.)
Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital opened in 2004 as the first hospital in the Omaha area dedicated solely to the treatment of the orthopedic patient. NOH has established itself as a leader in the region for treating these patients. Led by Tom Macy, the hospital has received the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval, meaning the hospital achieved accreditation for three years, the most a facility can receive from the organization. Consumer Reports ranked NOH as number one in Nebraska, placing the hospital five points higher than the next hospital in the state and six points higher than the next hospital in the Omaha area. NOH is dedicated to quality patient care, with an infection rate of 0.59 percent. HealthGrades has ranked the hospital better than average in avoidance of bruising or bleeding as a consequence of surgery and avoidance of respiratory failure following surgery. NOH has a patient to staff inpatient ratio of 4:1. The hospital is a partnership between 27 Omaha physicians and The Nebraska Medical Center.
Some special deals are more equal than others.

Unfortunately you are probably right. Those few left who still have incomes to tax are dwindling in number.
Not sure how the demtards think they’ll collect all that tax money.
There will be hell to pay. This will not stand!
If this fiasco healthscare bill passes through the bowels of the Senate and becomes official excrement then time to turn the blowtorch back onto congress. Still a chance to kill it dead!
On a week end when America is deep in it’s coma, AVATAR is is at the theaters, FOOTBALL is mourning the death of another criminal pass receiver and everyone is partying shopping and spending.
And all they will hear about is the great “Christmas Present” that has been given to them this weekend by the Senate. And, they will all cheer for their “free” health care, whether they work or not.
