Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, is set to pull back his plan that would include an amendment that would have legalized and taxed online gambling to help pay for healthcare reform.
According to a statement released by Wyden’s communications director Jennifer Hoelzer, the senator feels that he does not want to introduce another controversial issue into the healthcare debate, and would pull his amendment from consideration.
“The last thing Sen. Wyden wants to do is make it more difficult to expand subsidies for working families by introducing a new contentious issue to the debate,” said Hoelzer. “So when he offers the amendment, he will do it with other funding mechanisms.”
While some senior Democrats in the House have offered support for the concept of taxing online gambling to pay for healthcare, they admit that the healthcare debate is already heated enough. They admit that introducing another controversial issue to the mix might be a little dangerous.
“Changing the laws regarding online gaming is a significant detour from healthcare, a detour that Sen. Reid agrees is not appropriate at this time,” said Regan LaChapelle, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.”
