-——Yes, there was a debate——

I would argue there was not really any debate.

Recall if you will the intense efforts here where we contacted numerous congress critters to learn who was writing the law. We never learned. Even local town hall meetings provided no real insight. We certainly didn’t have knowledge Gruber has revealed. ...... because it was secret

I recall watching the Cavuto show every day. (something I would recommend BTW) He showed video of a closed door in the Capitol behind which a senate group was crafting the final bill. I recall a red telephone on Niel’s desk dedicated to the sole purpose of receiving a call either describing the law being made or inviting a conference to review what was in process.

Arguing the point doesn't negate the fact that debates happened and were recorded.

“In fact, one of our core principles is that if you like the health care you have, you can keep it.” (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.8642, 8/3/09)

You do know how to search the Congressional Record, don't you?
