Democrats may “have to abandon their effort for comprehensive healthcare legislation in favor of a piecemeal approach, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said Friday,” The Hill reports.
"I don’t know if we can get a comprehensive bill through," Nelson said during an interview on KLIN radio in Nebraska. "Honestly, I just don’t know."
"We may be forced to doing healthcare — to use my analogy — by making a pie a piece at a time, which is typically not the preferred way to handle legislation," the senator added. "But this is so big, and has so many moving parts and has so many supporters and detractors, that maybe that’s the only thing you can do. Grab a piece of it here, grab a piece of it there and try to put together as much of it as you can."
