I do not understand how anyone who claims to represent the majority of the voters who elected them can stomach, let alone vote for the health-care bill, with all of its giveaways, protections and sweetheart deals like the “The Nebraska Compromise” which causes the other 49 states to pay for Nebraska’s share of Medicare. This is nothing less than pay to play, only in this case it’s pay to obtain a single vote. This is Chicago-style politics at its worse. It’s not only disgraceful, it’s illegal and unconstitutional. Practices like this continue to shine the light on the win-at-any-price politics being practiced by our elected officials. Win at any price, to hell with the impact and costs to those which will be paying into eternity for these ill-gotten votes.

With all due respect, which continues to wain.
