I expect that the GOP will demand the entire bill be read (the bill that isn’t even out yet).
They had better not back down on that.

demand they read it all.
I think the other 49 states should start preparing a lawsuit to challenge the special deal for Nebraska.

Call for the reading and have the first person to read it be legally blind so that the entire 2000 pages needs to be put into Braille first so as to not discriminate.

Agreed, the Repubs had better force the entire bill to be read.

question for those who know: When the bill comes back from the house/senate conference...could it be filibustered then? Or will that be simply up or down?

Non discrimination. Read it in English, Spanish, French, Cantonese, Mandarin, German, Navajo (plus other Native American languages), Italian, Polish, Greek, Japanese, Korean ... maybe I found all of them spoken in the US.
Once they are read ... then take the vote.

Doctor Tom is kicking ass with reason and intelligence...but he should be setting fire to the place and beating the snot out of someone. There will be no hearts and minds won...the Dems will jam through an unconstitutional bill that we wiull have to unravel either through counter legislation or by civil disobedience or worse....

After conference there will be changes and it’s my understanding it can be filibustered.

They also released the Congressional Budget Office score of the legislation showing it costs $871 billion. Yes, they have the first three years of paying into it before the 'benefits' begin!
And how is a 871 billion bill a 'deficit reduction' bill?

I think they will need only 51 votes after the conference.

This bill is criminal.
It is a full act of treason.

Does anybody here happen to have a text of this bill, or is there one at all? What are they reading?

The coming Rapture will be my health care. I think we are getting very close to it. The ultimate healer will deal with all the evil sickness of those who have given their soul to Satan. Oh Lord, please deliver us from evil. As I lift my eyes to the heavens, I await your coming.
In Christ name
Amen
