As you probably already know, over the weekend Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) was to be the critical 60th vote needed to bring the Senate's healthcare reform bill to a floor vote (cloture). Put simply, Nelson accepted Harry Reid's bribe, which is that the federal government taxpayers will subsidize pay for the state of Nebraska's Medicaid expansion.
