Sen. Ben Nelson said Tuesday it was a mistake for the Obama Administration to
take on massive health care reforms in 2009, and suggested efforts would have
been better spent addressing the economy.
Nelson, who provided the
crucial 60th vote to advance the bill toward Senate passage on Dec. 19, has been
active ever since trying to explain his actions to Nebraskans. Ads have aired on
television and Nelson is making the rounds with the state’s media.
He
requested Tuesday’s interview with the Tribune.
