Why do you want them to pass a bill that they will let absolutely no one see before voting on it?


To use a healthcare pun... Because nobody likes the taste of their own medicine.

And that should be the response. You will see it when it is time to for the vote. It's content is irrelevant since you have vowed to vote against it.

The republicans were not involved in this stage of the dem's bill either. The two bills will be reconciled in the wide open arena.

This whining is bullshite

Just to frick with the Dems the bill should appear in the Senate for debate including a single line in bold type "ALL DEMOCRATS RECEIVE A LUMP SUM $1,000,000" upon passage.

Of course once the Dims notice it then "debate" it out by the R's.

You must recognize the difference between now when we're talking about a proposed Senate bill which hasn't even put up to vote yet, versus then when Nancy Pelosi was telling Congressman as they were voting on the finished bill that they would have to vote on the bill before they would know what is in it?

In fact actually if you go back and look at that bill you can see her real meaning. She wasn't saying "you can't read the bill until after you vote on it" what she was saying was "this bill gives the Sec of Health & Human Services extraordinary powers over the health insurance industry and we really won't know what changes s/he will make unless we pass the bill and give him the authority to do so"


The ACA was a sham for that reason, no one voting on it even knew what they were going to see as a result.

The ACA at least had hearings and made amendments based on republican commentary. This health care bill has had zero hearings and zero amendments from democrats.

A) go ahead and list for me the Amendments to the ACA based on Republican commentary

B) do you understand that the bill is still in conference, if it gets out of conference, they will show it to the entire Senate and have discussions and an open vote.

Jesus this is simple stuff

Yes - but parliamentary procedure CLEARLY states that only Democrats can do this.

And you are CLEARLY a pupit who blindly bought into the repub/con misinformation propaganda about the passage of Obamacare - which was publically debated for over a year.

Posturing.

If they don't let them see it, they will hold their breath!

Aren't the rest of the Republicans also demanding to see the bill? From some of the Republicans they've interviewed, they're keeping it a secret from a good portion of their own party as well.


Probably. But it's all posturing. They will have to be able to look at it before it goes to a vote.

Yet as we reported at the time, those amendments were mostly technical. Only two of those Republican amendments were passed via roll-call vote.

From your link. Thanks for all the input?
