Nevada won’t pay for health care reform?
October 1, 2009
The Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid from Nevada, has negotiated provisions in the Senate health care reform bill that exempts his state from ‘new’ costs associated with the bill. Why should Nevada be exempt from the cost of health care reform? Senators from Michigan, Oregon and Rhode Island complained that their states should be exempt as well and as a result the Senate bill exempts them from the the cost of health care reform as well. What is the deal? Why are some states getting better deals than others?
Simply, the health care reform package is VERY unpopular in those states. Senator Reid looks as if he might lose his Senate seat as well as members from Michigan, Oregon and Rhode Island. Passage of the Senate health care reform package would almost certainly mean Democrats in these states would lose. What does this mean for Republican states like Texas? It means we will be paying for health care reform for the citizens of Las Vegas, Reno, Portland and Providence.
Where is the outrage? Was this the sort of republic the founders sought to create? I am not the first person to ‘bristle’ over this deal. Manu Raju from Politico is just as incensed.
