What did it take to secure health vote?

On Dec. 20, The Gazette or the Associated Press failed the readers and the people of the United States on fully explaining why Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Nebraska, agreed to give his vote on the Senate health care bill. A bribe is a bribe. You do this for us and we will not charge the people of Nebraska any extra money (Medicaid expansion). The people of Iowa and other states will pick up the tap.
I wonder what the masses will think once the issue gets out for everyone to read. Probably get that information on Fox News.
