Senate GOP won't release draft health care bill

Senate GOP won't release draft health care bill
Caitlin Owens 2 hrs ago

Senate Republicans are working to finish their draft health care bill, but have no plans to publicly release it, according to two senior Senate GOP aides.

"We aren't stupid," said one of the aides.

One issue is that Senate Republicans plan to keep talking about it after the draft is done: "We are still in discussions about what will be in the final product so it is premature to release any draft absent further member conversations and consensus."

3. I'll bet it won't take effect until 2019 when Democrats possibly take over.

That way when everyone's health care disappears the Dems will get blamed.

I need surgeries to relieve the severe pain that drugs can't control any longer. I will need expensive surgeries for the rest of my life. 50% of people diagnosed kill themselves within 7 years due to the pain. My family knows this and will stand up for me and fulfill my trust directions. I will kill myself when it is too much to endure and I will video record it. After I am dead it will be given to every congressman, media outlet, etc to show what they have done and my blood is on their hands. Whenever I call congress over, which is 400 times so far (all the senators e times each and 1/2 the house reps), I tell the phone staffers this and they do take me seriously...I guess crying on the phone effects them anyway. It certainly has no effect on the GOP monsters.
