“The most corrupt senate in history will pass this terrible bill in the dead of night. Ben Nelson's deal with Harry Reid is the shining example of this great deliberative body's failure.

Because Medicaid is a program whose costs are split between the federal and state governments, this expansion in eligibility raise costs dramatically for states. States will be forced to either raise taxes or cut other services to accommodate the forced increase in Medicaid spending.

Unless that state is Nebraska. The federal government will forever cover the costs of Medicaid expansion in Nebraska. Taxpayers in every other state will forever be responsible for the expanded Medicaid program in Nebraska.”

The competition would be healthy, and the subsidies will be in any bill anyway for those who can't pay. Will someone please allow right to work hospitals to exist without all the union hyper political meddling? Will someone please challenge the ram it thru philosophy? We could use a Medicare Czar as long as we gave up a few other czars in exchange. Let's get that fraud taken care of ASAP.

Here's to hoping for better change in Legislative, Judicial and Executive practices”
