This site explains the 'bribe', contains images, and links -

Exhibit A is the outright bribe extracted by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Corn Huckster State) from Sen. Harry Reid.
As a result of Nelson’s performance in his role of Hamlet in the health care deliberations, we will have two health care systems in this country; one for Nebraska and one for the other 49 states.
In its quixotic attempt to ensure everyone has health insurance, the Reid legislation greatly expands Medicaid eligibility. Because Medicaid is a program whose costs are split between the federal and state governments, this expansion in eligibility raise costs dramatically for states. States will be forced to either raise taxes or cut other services to accommodate the forced increase in Medicaid spending.
Unless that state is Nebraska.
Below is the text for Nelson’s bribe.
Under this language the federal government will forever cover the costs of Medicaid expansion in Nebraska. Taxpayers in every other state will forever be responsible for the expanded Medicaid program in Nebraska

Outrageous doesn’t do justice to describe this situation. Sen. Nelson also secured an exemption from a new insurance tax for non-profit companies in his state. Mutual of Omaha and Nebraska’s Blue Cross/Blue Shield won’t have to pay a tax other companies will be required to pay.

Article 1 Section 9 part 6 of the Constitution:
No preference shall be given by by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one state over another...
Article 4 Section 2:
The Citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the Privileges and Immunities of the Citizens in the several states.

"
Under the Reid bill, the states face billions of dollars in unfunded mandates, except for Nebraska. In addition, a select few states get special deals that reduce their Medicaid contributions. Most seniors on Medicare Advantage would see their benefits cut, unless they live in Pennsylvania, New York or Florida.
"The new Reid bill doubles the tax penalty on Americans who don´t buy the health insurance that Washington dictates.
The new bill includes $1 trillion in Medicare cuts and tax increases. The latest language would still force taxpayers to pay for abortion services.
"The Senate Democrats are trying to jam through a vote during Christmas because they don't want to go home and face their constituents.
We have been kept in Washington over the weekends, because the Senate Democrats don´t want to go home and face their voters.
The Senate Democrats are not listening to the American people.
The American people have figured out that this bill would drive up their costs, raise their taxes and cut their Medicare benefits, and they don´t like it."

Hiding the True Cost to the Taxpayers
When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) unveiled his bill, he claimed that the massive reform package would fall under the $900 billion cost threshold promised by President Obama. But Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) recently conceded that the real cost of the bill was much higher: "Just for a second-- health care reform, whether you use a ten year number or when you start in 2010 or start in 2014, wherever you start at, so it is still either $1 trillion or it's $2.5 trillion, depending on where you start."[12]
