Sen. Nelson called the inclusion of a public plan a “deal-breaker,” according to Congressional Quarterly.</p> <p align="left">Seemingly chastened by criticism about his opposition to significant health care reform, Sen. Nelson issued a series of “health principles” this week. The elements of his proposal mirrored what had recently been proposed by America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the leading lobbying group for the insurance industry.</p> Wed, 27 May 2009 20:09:20 +0000
