So the senate democrats have their 60 votes to avoid a filibuster.
To do this, they inserted some pork for the senator in Nebraska stating the federal government would pick up the medicaid costs for nebraska.
I find it irritating that it is illegal for a company to give a senator or congressman money in exchange for government contracts. But congressman can sell their votes in the same manner. Now not only do we get the healthcare bill....everyone across the country is paying for nebraska's medicaid costs.
