WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s efforts to secure a better deal for Nevada in the health care reform legislation, which we wrote about last week, is highlighted in today’s New York Times.
The paper notes that the 100 percent federal funding for Medicaid expansion that Reid wants for Nevada won’t happen without a fight in Washington, and comes at the expense of other states, including California, Florida and Illinois. (The NYT doesn’t mention the nay-sayers in Nevada who say even 100 percent funding is not enough .)
But it also sort of expects Reid to win:
“There is no guarantee that the provision will be retained as the legislation moves through Congress. Many other lawmakers are trying to influence its particulars to favor their states, but few have the power of the majority leader to get their way.”
The New York Times endorsing a Democrat piece of legislation really. LOL
If there ever was compelling evidence that Harry Reid is down the same path as Daschle it's this piece in the NYT. Does he REALLY need to go all the way to New York to a far left liberal paper to get positive press?
For the less-informed; South Dakota voters tossed Daschle out on his ear after he took the same position as Reid, (Democrat Senate Leader) and lost touch with his home state in favor of Washington DC and national party politics.
how is any healthcare plan able to sustain itself without numerous tax increases and the unemployment rate rising weekly and thousands of small businesses failing? without the millions of workers and small businesses contributing to the tax fund theres no possible way to pay for any national healthcare plan.
Is "All the Baloney Fit to Print" still being published? Where can I buy a copy of two as memorabilia?
Harry Reid is a farce and should be voted out of office. He and Pelosi should be ashamed! They have done more to divide this country then any other leaders I can remember. Vote him OUT in 2010! Democrate have TOOO much power and are killing jobs in America!
