Healthcare

Worst Persons

The (ironically titled) Fox News Channel "Brain Room."

They're framing the Sanders amendment -- the nationwide community healthcare centers -- as some sort of weird earmark or kickback just for Vermont. Which is absolutely untrue. They're also failing to clarify that the reconciliation sidecar will eliminate the Ben Nelson deal.

Actually, this raises a potential political counterpoint to be used against the Republicans. If any Republicans vote "no" on the sidecar, they're actually voting to preserve the Ben Nelson Medicaid deal -- the Cornhusker Kickback and the other nicknamed compromises.
