Senate GOPs health care bill is so secret not even Trumps health secretary has seen it
Seems really unacceptable imo...
Senate GOP’s health care bill is so secret not even Trump’s health secretary has seen it
This takes secrecy to entirely new levels.
No one seems to know what’s in the Senate’s Trumpcare bill. Not even Trump’s top health care adviser.
At a Thursday hearing, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) asked Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, “Have you or anyone in your department seen what the Senate Republicans are working on in terms of their version of Trumpcare?”
Price began his response with a caveat that he has talked to senators who care about health care, but followed it up with the stunning admission that he had not yet seen any part of the bill.
“I’ve had multiple conversations with senators who are interested in making certain that we have a health care system that works for patients, my staff has provided technical assistance,” said Price. “I haven’t seen any legislative language.”
Sen. Durbin’s reaction was complete and utter disbelief: “{You} have not seen it? You haven’t seen it either?”
Price replied: “As I say, my staff has provided some technical assistance to individuals, but I haven’t seen any legislative language.”
