McConnell denies there is any effort to conceal Senate health care bill....He Lies again.

Fuc**ng Liar..........

Orrin Hatch R - Utah...says, "Holding public hearings would only give Democrats more opportunity to attack the bill."..He also says, "We have zero cooperation from Democrats so getting it in public would give them more opportunity to scream"

This is how these as **oles are trying to run the Senate. Not giving any input on the legislation, then forcing an up or down vote, and it appears..no public hearings..There might be a few days of discussion then a vote. It took months for the Obamacare bill to be processed. But McConnell wants and up or down vote a couple of weeks after it is.....disclosed.. It is now "private" and few know what is in it...Why? "No cooperation from Democrats...' Hatch says... Does anyone remember the cooperation that McConnell gave to Obama?..And what he said about Obama?

Lisa Murkowski R - Alaska... lamented that she cannot even answer basic questions about the bill. "My constituents expect me to know, and if we had utilized the process that goes through a committee, I would be able to answer constituents questions"

So that is it...even their own people don't know what is in the bill. Now here is the important part..If Lisa don't like this...she can vote NO on this bill ...then it would take 2 others and this bill would be DEAD....3 of them and 48 of us vote NO..and that is it............THAT BILL IS DEAD!!!!!

It is the future, and we do not know..but we will know if there are 3 total Republican senators who will stand up to this totally dictatorial procedure. No committee hearings..No idea of what is being said behind..closed doors..Groups of interest will have no input.. Physician's groups, hospitals, consumer advocates, patients with serious diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc..have no input at all on what the Republicans are putting together in the senate..........NONE, NO IMPUT, NO Discussion. NO NADA..........

All being done by a small committee of "them" And it is clear, that the way they are doing this, they do not care about anyone but..."themselves"....It is "THEM" vs the "REST OF US"..........Fu**ing selfish ass**les...and that is who they are..now and always...us...vs..."THEM"...

But our leadership in the Senate also must call them out..Loud and Clear
..I sure hope this bill fails..McConnell needs pie in his face, and the ridicule and hate that he has brought forth. No hearings, no input from anyone but a small group, lies on top of lies. Hate and more Hate...He is evil and all that vote for this are also evil. Are there 3 of their party who will stand up?..In certain ways, McConnell is worse than Trump, far worse..

"We aren't hiding anything...we just don't want Dems to attack our work"....what a steaming pile of horse shit! They're trying to force feed this turd of a bill down the throats of all Americans without exposing how absolutely morally bankrupt they are, all for a fucking tax cut to those who need it least!! Clearly, there is no such thing as a "liberal media", otherwise these assholes couldn't pull some side show like this off in front of our faces!!
