Rockefeller has to do health care "for the nation"

So as the whole thing falls apart, primarily because of the enormous cost, guess what Rockefeller, he whose net worth is somewhere around $130 million, with the permanent Senate salary and 24/7 health care at his fingertips, Jay Rockefeller wants to do it to the nation.

Meanwhile, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) remained optimistic, arguing that as a final vote nears senators will come around.

"The closer you get, the more you have to look at the whole bill, and you say, 'I have to do this for the nation,'" he said.
