“Sen. Ben Nelson delivered a crucial vote to pass Obamacare into law in 2009, and now he is cashing out of the Senate to make money off the organizations that benefitted from the legislation. Nelson’s last day as a senator was Jan. 3, and on Jan. 22 he announced he had taken two jobs on K Street. Nelson’s second K Street job, CEO of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, might not even exist without Obamacare. Obamacare mentions the NAIC 18 times. Some provisions of the law basically delegate regulatory power to the NAIC. Now, with Ben Nelson on the payroll, the NAIC can be even more confident it will get its wishes.”
