Well, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid finally seems to have his 60th vote.

Senator Nelson has announced support of the Senate Health Care Bill.  The cost?  Revised language on Abortion, and an exemption for Nebraska in regards to Medicare expenditures.

That’s right.  The Federal Government will pay for the Medicare expenditures for the State of Nebraska.  All those other States with Senators that joined earlier will just have to pay those Medicare expenditures, themselves.

That means that not only will states like California have to pay the Medicare costs to take care of the citizens of California (including illegal aliens) they will have to pay for the Medicare costs for taking care of the citizens of Nebraska.

Governor Schwrazenegger has already stated additional Medicare costs would bankrupt his state.

This reminds me of the joke about the millionaire that propositions another man’s wife.  After saying yes to $1 Million, he then offers $50.  She get’s offended and asks what kind of woman he thinks she is.

His response?  We’ve already established what kind of woman you are.  Now we’re just negotiating price.

Well, we now know what kind of man Senator Nelson is and we know the price.
