Fun fact: the original health care "reform" bill that they proposed had a repeal of McCarran Ferguson in it. Nebraska senator Ben Nelson (ex state insurance commissioner and recipient of over $1 million lifetime donations from the insurance industry) held his vote hostage saying that he wouldn't vote for a bill that included it, oh yeah, and also have the taxpayer fund $100 million of Nebraska's Medicare obligations.
And they went along with it. Politics as usual. :nope: |
