One of the big reasons House Democrats wanted changes to the Senate-passed health care bill was the so-called Cornhusker kickback, which provided extra Medicaid money for Nebraska.
And Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, whose vote party leaders were courting when they inserted the provision, has disavowed the provision, saying it should be repealed.

Too funny. Judas doesn’t want to give up his 30 pieces of silver.
He doesnt like the gov taking over student loans. One of the biggest private student loan processors is IN HIS STATE and has told him they would lay off 30,000 people in the US.
As hard as Ben tries, the damned genie just won’t go back into the bottle.
Gee. Color me frakkin’ surprised.

Ben, Ben, Ben...once a whore, you are forever a whore.
He knows damn well they changed the rules to a simple majority vote.
Yep a few more can run for cover as all they need is 50 plus Biden as a tie breaker.
Nelson is toast like the rest of the slime traitors in Congress.
Utterly shameless doesn’t even begin to describe these vermin.
Then later he gets this one...
This desperate and transparent attempt to save his job won’t work.
More Kabuki theatre from Dimwit Dems. Just trying to
revive his chances.
Of course we are supposed to just ignore the fact that a NO vote on the House reconciliation bill is a YES vote on retaining that famous Cornhusker Kickback.
How does nationalizing student loans get into a “healthcare reform” bill?
I saw Orrin Hatch on tv today saying he is trying to derail the whole thing due to problems with the rules.
StuPid Stupacker ruined that media blitz. We believe when you DO IT. Jerk!
Like your commie sister Blanche, it’s too late to save yourself now!
I've seen through him for quite a few years now. I'll be "educating" as many people here as I can about him.
He continues to embarrass me and my state!
