Nebraska's healthcare vote to the highest bidder

[ScottThuy 140]

Am I the only one that thinks this should be illegal? or is it illegal and nobody cares?

Among the favors Nelson got for Nebraska was increased federal funds to cover Nebraska's estimated $45 million cost of covering an expanded Medicaid population.

How is this not bribery or influencing a political official with $?

I hope this does not come up at the interview ..... This thing happens all the time in VN and we condemn it as not being democratic.. but when it happens here its just part of the political process...

Yeah, damn the red states. All talk about states' rights and keeping the feds out but always with their hands out for federal dollars. Fcuking beggars. Wish they'd get off Uncle Sam's teat one of these days and start to take care of themselves. They ought to put their money where their mouth is, you know?

Kind of like Ovomit and the Democrat party needs to put their money where their mouth is and start doing the ethical and transparent thing, which they did not do.
