The Repubs have FINALLY opened fire! Reid has not presented his bill so anyone can read it (it isn't completed) BUT yet, they want to vote on the dang thing before Christmas. The Republicans are finally waking up and reading on the floor the 700+ page Bernie Sanders amendment. It is being read page by page and the Dems are simply having a fit! Per CSpan: >>>>>>SENATE CLERK NOW READING SINGLE-PAYER AMENDMENT Today At around noon ET, the Senate Clerk began reading the text of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) single-payer amendment. The reading of amendments is usually waived during debate, but Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) requested the reading of the complete Sander's text. c-span.org <<<<< The SinglePayer amendment reading began at 12 noon today. Sen Colburn's (R-OK) requested the reading. The Senate Clerk is reading now. The Amendment opens Medicare to all US Citizens regardless of age creating a single payer program. c-span.org
