Senator Ben Nelson Doubles Down On His Support For Government-Run Healthcare
Nelson Says “He Wouldn’t Change His Vote” For ObamaCare On Christmas Eve in 2009, Senator Ben Nelson provided Democrats with the 60th vote in favor of President Obama’s $2.5 trillion government-run health care bill after cutting a backroom deal – which has often been referred to as the Cornhusker Kickback – with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Nelson voted for this massive bill even though he knew it cut Medicare by $500 billion, raised taxes by $500 billion and was opposed by a strong majority of Nebraskans.

Bush – ruled that the health care reform law’s requirement that nearly all Americans buy insurance is unconstitutional. Nonetheless, earlier today Ben Nelson went on the airways and…

Not only did Berkley follow Reid in rubberstamping the failed $787 billion stimulus –…
