No Linking with Online Casinos

Senator Ron Wyden has now firmly withdrawn the controversial bill that had just five minutes of fame and glory before being given the old heave ho because the bill was not going to actually help either of the two attached causes. Wyden’s plan was actually great – link the taxes that would generate by the legalization of online casinos in the US to the new Obama healthcare reform debates. Then when the healthcare detractors are boo-hooing about how the government is going to pay for the healthcare reform there is a very clear solution for a pretty big percentage of the projected costs. The whole plan sounded really great on paper and there was a flurry of support from the online casino gambling industry as well as other Democrats before that flurry ebbed and politicians realized that linking the two bills could sink them both.

The two issues are two contentious in their own right and supporters of either bill, healthcare or the online casinos, may not necessarily support both of the bills. The politicians believed that the bill linking healthcare reform and the gambling industry would split the vote to severely and Wyden voluntarily withdrew his bill almost as quickly as he released it. You’d think that this issue would be old news by now, but that is actually not the case. Instead, some of the online casino supporters are still liking the idea of paying for healthcare with taxes from the gambling industry.

In general, the Democrats are pushing both of these controversial issues another generalization notes that the detractors of one bill are by and large actually the detractors of the other bill as well. A large majority of the Republicans have fought to maintain the status quo in both the healthcare policies and the online casinos. Even so though, the issues are just to heated right now to link and the debate on a joint bill would likely be quite ferocious.
