Other Reid deals: * A tax break for Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, (Ben Nelson). * Federal money for ACORN, the left-wing activist group connected to phony voter registration lists, (Sen. Roland Bums of Illinois). * Medicaid payments of $600 million for Vermont, (Patrick Leahy). * More than $10 billion for government health centers, (Bemie Sanders of Vermont). * Florida seniors get to keep extra Medicare benefits that the elderly in other states will lose, (Bill Nelson). * Higher Medicare payments to hospitals in North Dakota, (Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad). * Extending Medicare benefits to a small group of miners in Montana sickened by asbestos, (Max Baucus).n He clearly has an interest in his former firm's staying afloat.
