Well, it looks like a few Republicans were able to stack enough pork
into the healthcare bill that it will now pass.


Like this?

"For example, Georgia and most states will face billions of dollars in
massive unfunded mandates to cover the cost of the proposed expansion
of Medicaid contained in the bill. However, in order to win the vote
of Senator Ben Nelson, D-Neb., Reid inserted a provision in the bill
that says the federal government would cover the cost of all new
Medicaid beneficiaries in Nebraska, saving that state tens of millions
of dollars."
