It’s simple. He wants to be back in the fold.

Such drama! ... There was never any doubt that a bastard rat would do as he is told. He took lessons from the whore of Louisiana, ‘Sinator’ Landreau: drag it out for the drama, to fool some more of the gullible voters.

Nelson disclosed his decision as Majority leader Harry Reid unveiled a final series of changes to the measure, including concessions to Nelson on abortion, Medicaid funding for his state and more.

The legislation includes new limits designed to limit insurance company profits and overhead, by requiring them to spend 80 percent of their premium income on medical care for individual insurance policies, and 85 percent for group policies.

On abortion, the measure would let a state disallow coverage in new insurance exchanges by passing a law to that effect. Additionally, it sets up a mechanism to segregate funds that would be used to pay for abortions from federal subsidy dollars flowing to health plans.

THEY DON’T CARE!! When the illegals get amnesty, its a permanent Democratic majority with all the bad things that entails.

If you know how hateful and violent our minority communities can be, they now run the show.

Better stock up on those firearms, because they will be coming after your money, food, and everything else. You won’t stand a chance, of course, because Obama is the gangleader in Chief and the Crips/Bloods/LatinKings (aka, Democratic Party) have all the firepower they need.

I have a question for all of you. If we have a major shift in the 2010 Elections, can this be repealed?

Nebraska voters oppose this crap 66 to 26; and the scoundrel senator supports it.
Unbelievable.
Does he not understand what the word “represent” means?

Agree with others who have posted here. The end of America is now complete. And anybody who thinks the November 2010 elections will offer an opportunity to change anything - get your heads out of the sand. Once they pass the Amnesty Bill - and they will - all of those illegals, and their vast numbers of relatives who will be allowed to walk into the USA anytime they want to. All of who will vote for Democrats ad infinitum. Forget it everybody. It’s is over. We now live in AMERIKA - on it’s way to a Banana Republic. Sad to say, but true.

Better stock up, and buy stock in companies which make guns and ammo because both are about to go through the roof!
People are angry.

I smell a revolution brewing.

Piece by piece, yes, it can be replaced with better policies and laws.

All the new ObamaCare taxes will sent the economy off the cliff. I won’t be suprised if the Dow drops 2000 points in the next few weeks.

Why is Lieberman voting for this bill?

Because he knows that his "independent" phase will no longer be tolerated by the powers that be. He and Ben Nelson - and anyone else voting for this abomination - would much rather be part of the boot than the face which gets crushed by the boot's heel.

Let's assume the dems see this thing through and we all get rationed government clinic medicine. What is the next move?

IMHO, we would then face exactly the same situation we now have with public schools, with the same long-term political strategy. The public plan is the fallback default option. Higher income people will opt out into higher quality private systems. The upper-middle and middle classes will try hard to move up. And so we have another voucher debate.

I believe that we will eventually win on school choice. While I don't look forward to slogging through the slow-motion bankruptcy of Obamacare, I believe we will also eventually win on individual choice in health care. What skews the debate now is the employer-based delivery system which dominates private health insurance today. Obamacare will destroy that in short order, and it needs to go to rationalize the debate.
