The bill was amended by Harry Reid, Nelson had a disagreement with the abortion provisions in the bill.  Nelson also spoke with the Obama administration on other matters not related to health care.

Senator Nelson said "I would not have voted for this bill if the insurance subsidies on abortion were not changed'. He also made statements about the level of friction between the two side of the aisle, causing Congress to not operate efficiently. The senator reiterated that he keeps the right to change his vote if there are changes made to the provisions that he has approved.

    BRIBERY, EXTORTION, COWARDICE, that about sums it up and looks like Mr.Nelson will be joining the unemployment line pretty soon.

  • Pathetic 2 years ago

    Everybody has a price I guess. Only the boys with the most money win. Yet people still are so ignorant to this administrations manipulative and scheming ways. Still waiting for some "Obama money". HA! If it wasn't so evil and damaging I would laugh.

    The picture of spineless Nelson speaks volumes notice how the sell-out coward can't even hold his head up. Maybe the bribe money can help him look at his ugly mug in the mirror later on, what a despicable cowardly act.

    Karma will take care of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Nelson, and every other Democrat who is shoving this crap down our throats. Yes, their day is coming.

    People of Nebraska vote that piece of garbage out please! Of course like Harry Reid he's probably got another cozy position lined up after he loses reelection. What a low-life worm this guy Nelson must be.
