Nebraska made a political deal in order to pass the federal health care bill. Top prosecutor from 7 states including Colorado are checking the constitutionality of this dealmade by Nebraska's Senator Ben Nelson. This compromise permanatley exempts Nebraska from paying Medicaid costs that all other states must pay and by that may violate the constitution some states things
Attorney General Henery McMaster along with the state prosecutors began looking into this deal at the request of Rep. U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint of South Carolina.
The senators voiced concerns to McMaster that this deal was unconstiutional in giving special treatment to just one state. I agree that it is definatly unfair for only one state to get spcial treatment but Vermont, Louisiana, and Massachusetts also got help with thier programs as well. I'm interested to see what ends up happening to this "Nebraska Compromise"
