the Republican Senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul, has tweeted out that he is currently being blocked by armed guards from viewing new, and the secretly kept Obamacare bill.
It was hours earlier that Paul tweeted that he heard that the Obamacare bill, being touted as Obamacare-lite by critics, is under lock & key, in a secure location, & not available for me or the public to view.
I have been told that the House Obamacare bill is under lock & key, in a secure location, & not available for me or the public to view.
Upon his arrival at a House hideaway in the Capitol, Paul claimed he was told he could not remove the bill and make it public. The Senator then held an impromptu press conference for media complaining about House Republicans lack of transparency, reports Politico.
Politico reports that Paul had an exchange with a staffer as he tried to make off with the draft bill, which could be voted on later this month.
I said I liked to get a copy and they said no go. She wouldnt tell us anything really, Paul said in an interview afterward. Even if I were allowed to look at it, which it didnt look like I was, how is that democracy?
Republican aides said they believed the room on the first floor of the Capitol is being used for Energy and Commerce members to read the bill. Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), a committee member, said he was also not able to read the bill and was told it was not available, explains Politico.
Its literally illegal in my state to do that, Paul said in the interview. You can understand for national security why we do it. But for goodness sakes for a healthcare bill? Its crazy.
The battle for transparency is likely a case that will leave those who want honest repeal of Obamacare completed, either an entire replacement of the legislation or a complete scrapping of it, not a watered down Obamacare-lite version which would keep key provisions of the old bill.
The plans for blowing up the Death Star were less closely guarded than the Republican replace and repeal bill. https://t.co/jwPQMyF0y8

Ya had me going with you right up to that point.
It was a freaking DRAFT,NOT an actual bill,and he had no more right to see it and blab to the public about the debate over it in committee than you or I have.
This was nothing more than Paul grandstanding. I am rapidly losing respect for this phoney.
My way or the highway is the impression I get. "Working from the same piece of paper". He needs watching, very carefully!
I don't know why people think he's so honest. He's only somewhat better than Boehner.
We need to keep an eye on all of them. And Trump too. His daughter is teeing up Dem-flavored family leave. Trump sounds like he's ready to ram Ryan's plan through whether he understands it or not, and they are definitely trying to gauge whether we'll tolerate some big Shamnesty.
Caveat emptor! Just because voters didn't want Hitlery doesn't mean they sold their souls for any bunch of Big Gooberment plans hatched by Ryan. Or McCain/Graham/Rubio. Or Trump.

That is a generalized inference and a pile on comment that may or may not be based on evidence and reasoning. Rather than abstractions, I prefer specifics.
Therefore, can you tell me unambiguously what Ryan is dishonest about in a draft bill that no one has seen, and has no requirement to see a draft bill that is still in being worked on in committee and continually coordinated for changes with Senate counterparts and the WH?
I havent seen no evidence that Ryan is dishonest in any way about this draft bill. If there is such evidence .I really would like to see it. I am not seeking confrontation .I am seeking information.
Therefore, can you tell me unambiguously what Ryan is dishonest about
This week on Hannity he said he supported the "Dr. Paul bill". That was just a few days ago.
I went searching and the first thing I found was where someone in Rand Pauls office noted that President Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) have reacted favorably to the idea that Rand Paul has been pushing for his colleagues to have a replacement plan ready to pass simultaneously with repeal of ObamaCare, a demand that has recently been gaining support inside the party.

Then, the only interview I found that Paul Ryan did with Hannity on TV this year is posted here:
