Press Release:

Attorney General McCollum joined several Attorneys General yesterday in sending a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid regarding their concerns about the provision in the health care legislation that affords special treatment to the state of Nebraska under the federal Medicaid program.

“As chief legal officers of our states we are contemplating a legal
challenge to this provision and we ask you to take action to render this
challenge unnecessary by striking that provision,” wrote the Attorneys
General of South Carolina, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan,
North and South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and
Washington.

The Dems were so desperate to get this bill passed that they met these unreasonable demands by Ben Nelson, what does that say about the bill and the Dems? Something is truly wrong when the Dems agree to these demands instead of negotiating for a more balanced deal. What is in that bill that the dems don't want the general population to know about, what is the rush ? As for those of us in NE., we were not impressed by this action either. When you sell the country down the river , the whole country goes in the flood water!

Anon, What in the world does Sheriff Harvey have to do with this (National Healthcare)? His little kingdom only includes a small rural county in Florida.

I generally disagree with GOPers, but anyone trying to stop this abomination of a "healthcare reform" bill has my support!
