Nebraska
Sen. Ben Nelson, who has faced a heap of criticism for appearing to
trade his vote on health care for millions in federal Medicaid money,
said he's considering asking that the Nebraska deal be stripped from
the bill. But he said other senators are looking for special treatment
in light of his success.
Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, after securing a sweetheart deal for his
state as part of the health insurance reform bill, said Tuesday that
three other senators have told him they want to bargain for the same
kind of special treatment.
"Three senators came up to me just now on the (Senate) floor, and
said, 'Now we understand what you did. We'll be seeking this funding
too'," Nelson said.
