The deals being cut to gain solidarity of the Democratic Senators needed to pass the bill are sickening – cited examples from Mr. Phillips writings:
1. Senator Ben Nelson got an unprecedented deal to force federal taxpayers to pick up 100% of the cost of Nebraska’s Medicaid expansion–forever.
2. Connecticut’s Senator, Christopher Dodd, got a $100 million earmark for a hospital at the University of Connecticut.
3. Vermont Senators Pat Leahy and Bernie Sanders, who had been threatening to oppose the bill from the Left, got an extra $250 million in Medicaid funding.
4. In Florida, Senator Bill Nelson got three counties carved out of Medicare Advantage cuts that will happen everywhere else in the country.
5. The “Louisiana Purchase” where Reid and Obama paid $300 million of our taxpayer dollars to the pet projects of Senator Landrieu to secure her vote.

What did this deliver for voters?? Increased premiums for many Americans, higher taxes, and nearly $500 billion in cuts to the Medicare coverage many seniors rely on. It still isn’t too late to have an impact on this debate. All it will take is for ONE reasonable Democrat to vote ‘No’, to stop Harry Reid’s takeover of your health care.

All pork-barrel spending, all behind the scenes – so much for Obama’s pledge of transparency - this is anything but.

To top it off, it turns out that Obama has pulled a 180-degree change

AGAINST WHAT HE STATED WHEN RUNNING FOR ELECTION TO HIS CURRENT OFFICE!!
