So it was something of a surprise for Bob Tatum when he set out to ask his fellow Nebraskans if they would back a ballot initiative to expand Medicaid, one of the pillars of Obamas health overhaul.
There seems to be a lot more support than I anticipated, said Tatum, who lives in a remote town near the Colorado border.
