The states of Nebraska, Louisiana, Vermont and Massachusetts will receive more help with Medicaid than other states. Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska was able to score big, getting the federal government to pay 100% of the expansion of the program in his state, forever. Yes siree, the other 49 states will have to pay for this forever. That was his price, and Harry Reid thought it was a reasonable one. Vermont and Massachusetts got only temporary help – with Louisiana’s Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu negotiating $100 million for them. That was her price.
Floridians who have Medicare Advantage Plans will have their benefits grandfathered in thanks to their Senator Bill Nelson.
Certain professions will be able to have high-value insurance plans without having to be taxed on them (unlike the rest of us if we have those plans). Longshoremen were added to the list which already included electrical linemen, policemen, firefighters, EMT first responders, construction workers, miners, and people working in forestry, fishing and certain agriculture jobs.
