Like this?

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."

Maybe Loogy thinks Reid was handing out pork to the Republicans to
keep them from voting 'aye'?

My question for the Democrats would be, "If the bill is so ****ing
good, why did Reid have to pay the Democrats so much to vote for it?"

John, are you trying to say that the Republicans didn't put pork into
the bill?

This will be interesting. I don't know who stuck what into who, but.


Anyway, Will "coverage" mean "health care?"

I'm wondering if it will be two different things.

You might just have to wait until it's done.
So far, it ain't.
