DEAL WATCH: Code Red Moves Pomeroy to a Solid “Yes” Vote on Gov’t Healthcare Takeover After Apparent Deal for the Bank of North Dakota

Code Red has now classified Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-ND) as a solid “yes” vote on Obama and Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare  after another apparent deal was revealed in the Democrats’ bill, this time a special provision for the State of North Dakota.

The carve-out for North Dakota protects the Bank of North Dakota’s existing student loan program and will make it the only bank in the United States that can originate student loans.

“Though the measure would broadly eliminate government subsidies to banks that offer student loans, the Bank of North Dakota will continue to receive federal assistance for its student loan program.”

(Emily Pierce, “Conrad Appears to Get Special Carve-Out in Reconciliation Bill,” Roll Call, 3/18/10)

See page 145 of the Democrats’ substitute amendment to the healthcare takeover bill for more details.

Will Pomeroy come clean about this apparent backroom deal for his vote?

Call Pomeroy’s district office at (701) 224-0355 and ask.
