To be sure, not all seniors would share in these cuts. Florida seniors — at least those in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties — wouldn’t be subject to them. The “Gator Aid” deal that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid struck with Florida Senator Bill Nelson would allow South Floridians to continue enjoying the same Medicare Advantage benefits they enjoy today. Seniors in eleven other counties would also be shielded from the cuts.

Has anybody else heard of this particular piece of corrupt dealing?

This isn't a deal made to benefit a state (a la Ben Nelson's Nebraska), this is a deal made to benefit a series of individuals -- residents of particular counties (all of whom vote Democrat, coincidentally) -- favoring them over residents of adjacent counties.

Can any conservative public interest law firm say "Equal protection under the law"?

The deal for Nelson in Florida may be the biggest one,...it has been on a few threads....but not many!
