GOP Secrecy Around Health Care Is Unprecedented

Political Wire

Sarah Kliff: “Republicans do not want the country to know what is in their health care bill.”

“This has become more evident each day, as the Senate plots out a secretive path toward Obamacare repeal — and top White House officials (including the president) consistently lie about what the House bill actually does.”

“My biggest concern isn’t the hypocrisy; there is plenty of that in Washington. It’s that the process will lead to devastating results for millions of Americans who won’t know to speak up until the damage is done. So far, the few details that have leaked out paint a picture of a bill sure to cover millions fewer people and raise costs on those with preexisting conditions.”

Vox "I’ve covered Obamacare since day one. I’ve never seen lying and obstruction like this."

"You can find out what's in it when you pass it" ... taken by the dipshit wingnut brigade as PROOF POSITIVE that Republicans never even got to read a word about the ACA "til Dems shoved it down Americas throat on a strict party-line vote!!!1!1"

NO REALLY, that's TOTALLY true.

There was no 200 GOP Amendments, there was no entire year of markups in bi-partisan committees ... DIDN'T HAPPEN, cause Nancy Pelosi.
