Analyst: Look for healthcare pay-offs in Senate (OneNewsNow.com): "A congressional analyst says abortion funding, cost, and the public option will be the central points of the debate that is set to begin in the U.S. Senate on healthcare legislation."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), in an effort to win the vote of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana), included language in the Senate bill that would specifically increase federal Medicaid subsidies for Louisiana. It was initially reported that the earmark cost was $100 million, but Landrieu corrected the record, saying: "It's $300 million, and I'm proud of it and will keep fighting for it."
Brian Darling, director of Senate relations for The Heritage Foundation, predicts there will be more pay-off attempts when debate begins in the Senate on November 30.
