It's hard to fix something you aren't allowed to read, let alone introduce amendments to.[0]

- QuantumAphid 10y agoThat place you get your information from. It stinks. Look up: Gang of Six affordable care act. The HCR bill included 6 core planks of previous Republican health care bills, and the Democrats accepted and incorporated 161 amendments to the bill from Republicans. http://www.salon.com/2010/02/23/hcr_amendments/ http://www.salon.com/2010/02/23/hcr_amendments/ http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/02/five_compronises_in_health_car.html http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/02/five_com...

Bills in progress mean nothing, especially to that Democrat leadership, who often used the gut-and-amend procedure to completely redo legislation on the fly, avoiding rules regarding which committee(s) a bill must traverse.
