The forthcoming reconciliation bill will be based on a set of proposals put forth by Obama earlier this month to make changes to the Senate-passed bill to make it more palatable to House Democrats. It would eliminate special Medicaid funding for Nebraska, beef up tax credits for health insurance and scale back an excise tax on high-cost insurance plans.
“Everybody knows what’s in the bill,” Slaughter said.
But Stupak is alleging that Democratic leaders are offering lawmakers the opportunity to secure language (=$$$) in the reconciliation fix in exchange for their votes.
In an unusual development, a deputy campaign manager for Obama’s 2008 presidential bid said Tuesday that he is weighing a primary against Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.).
