| Description | Early this morning the US Senate passed its health care reform bill by a count of 60 to 39 right down party lines.
And the last few days all eyes have been on Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson as Americans waited for him to cast the deciding vote.
After voting this morning Nelson released this statement.
“Today the senate approved historic health reform. Let me be clear: it is not a government run insurance program. It meets the principles I laid out for Nebraskans last summer: that it must hold down spending, help our small businesses, improve care, and control costs. Most importantly work for Nebraska,” said Senator Nelson. |
