The remarkable steps Republicans are taking to obscure what’s in their health-care bill
Washington Post ^ | June 13, 2017 | Philip Bump

Posted on 06/13/2017 7:26:47 PM PDT by Innovative

News on Tuesday that on-camera interviews might be significantly curtailed within the Capitol is an on-the-nose manifestation of something that had otherwise not attracted a lot of attention: The Republican effort to replace Obamacare was being put together almost entirely outside of the public’s ability to see what was happening.

Just one thing: remember when Nancy Pelosi said about the Obamacare bill, that you have to pass it first, to find out what's in it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like Nancy said, “ you have to pass it to find out what’s in it.”

Just do it. Get it done so they can focus on either Tax Reform or The Wall! Maybe I’m being greedy and unrealistic, but I want at least one of these three things done before the end of THIS year. Replacing ObamaCare, Tax Reform, starting on The Wall and increased Border Patrol.

If the Washington com-Post thinks it's bad, it must be fantastic! This is great news.

Not just fake news, outright lying.
Whatever the Senate passes will have to go before the House for debate.

I’m starting to wonder. If there isn’t one, this fact will be used against him by both sides. All we need is a realistic appearance of construction being started. That’s all it would take. This issue will burn the GOP if not handled properly.

No they won’t. As a whole we are just as cowardly and craven as they are. We have almost all become sheeple.

I said this yesterday, what are they doing to us now? Too quiet, can’t be good at all. It never is.

We have crossed the Rubicon long ago. It is past time to start over and water that tree but we won’t. We are too divided and too regulated and too afraid and still too comfortable and too conditioned.

Do what? Anarchy in health care? That sounds like a big improvement.

I think Trump changed that

I WOULDNT risk a DAMN thing for mccain or romney or really bush 1 or 2.

But Trump. He’s the real deal and WE SEE how terrified so many are.

I WOULD be willing to do what it takes to keep him in office.

I’m not a tough guy. And I’m fat lol. With a lingering head injury.

But i’m 49 with no kids so if not me, who?

That was just adding insult to injury.
Nummnutz (Jonathan Gruber) admitted later (after it was already Law) it had been deliberately written in such a way that even the lawyers who had to pass it, or veterans of dozens of terms would be utterly unable to understand it.

Most people don't care how Congress goes about crafting this bill -- as long as it eliminates costly mandates and reduces their health care premiums.

I dont know what Trump is doing... seems like not much except investigation after investigation. I know the dims are just playing find anything they can games, but damn man, get something done!!

we control all three branches... but it sure doesnt feel like that!!

We did pull out of the globull warming thing I guess, there’s there. I hope for something GOOD on Taxes at least... HC they are going to screw it up WORSE than Ocare... and will have our names all over it...

Wall, hell they started back tracking on that already before they even begun!! not happening... but a lot of illegals are self deporting... so at least that much is good I guess.

THE GOP promised to repeal and lied
BECAUSE President Trump will be blamed.

That will be “in part”.
There will be a civil war against the GOP
by American conservatives and the DNC.
