Appearing yesterday on This Week, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) said he wouldn’t vote to break a filibuster if the health care reform bill remains as it is now.
Nelson, a moderate whose vote Democrats may need to break an expected Republican filibuster of the bill, said he voted to begin debate in the hopes that the bill will be made suitable through amendments.
His demands: no public option (including an opt-out), stronger anti-abortion language and more cost control.
