I believe that Bill Nelson, Senator from the sunny state of Florida, has submitted an amendment to exclude the Counties of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach from the Medicare cut backs.

I had called his office asking why not the whole state of Florida? As a citizen of Florida I was being discriminated against by living in Collier County in SW Florida.

Tried to call Senator Nelson yesterday and of course all local offices were closed and the DC machine was filled.

Any other Floridians have insight into this? On Friday, supposedly Bill's vote was still “undecided” according to Staff.

It seems to me that such a provision would meet the same fate in SCOTUS as Algore’s famous try at a selective recount in FL in 2000.

Unless the justices pull a Ben Nelson on us.
