Attorney General Drew Edmondson is one of a handful of states attorneys general who are asking for clarification on a plan to offset Medicaid increases hatched during the Senate negotiations on the national health care reform bill. Nebraska Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson cut the deal in exchange for his support of the Senate health care plan.
Officials in other states that will have to pay the Medicaid costs are questioning whether the provision is constitutional. Charlie Price, a spokesman for Edmondson said, the AG is already conferring with attorneys general in other states.
Most of those officials are Republicans, criticizing a Democratic backed deal. Edmondson, who is running for governor, is a Democrat.

He's a white guy from Oklahoma, he must be racist to oppose 0Bamacare. Will he accept whatever clarification is offered by the administration, or will he want it to be honest and reasonable?
It would be nice to have a few more bi partisan calls on this.
