Cowardly House Republicans Refuse To Show The Public Their New Obamacare Replacement Bill

House Republicans have come up a new version of their Obamacare replacement legislation, and this bill is so bad that they are not making it available to the public.

Bloomberg Politics reported, “House Republican leaders have a new version of their major Obamacare repeal and replacement bill. They just don’t want you to see it. The document is being treated a bit like a top-secret surveillance intercept. It is expected to be available to members and staffers on the House and Energy Commerce panel starting Thursday, but only in a dedicated reading room, one Republican lawmaker and a committee aide said. Nobody will be given copies to take with them.”

House Republicans are trying to avoid criticism of the legislation by not allowing the public to see it. They are also limiting access to the bill to prevent leaks. If the legislation is so bad that Republicans don’t want the public to know the details, the ACA replacement plan is likely toxic.

Republicans who were elected by the people, and are supposed to represent the people, don’t want the people to see what they are working on.

The plan will almost definitely throw tens of millions of people off of their health care. It is certain to limit coverage, and allow insurance companies to charge older and less healthy people higher premiums.

The bill will probably inspire public outrage.

Eventually, House Republicans will have to show their plan to the public, and when they do, the American people will be ready to defend their health care.
