Rand Paul goes on tweet storm after GOP refuses to let the public view the Obamacare bill
March 02, 2017
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took to Twitter on Thursday to publicly voice his disapproval that the GOP was keeping its Obamacare repeal legislation out of public view.
Paul's tweets openly asked what House Republicans were trying to hide, and demanded they release the bill for public viewing immediately.
According to Buzzfeed's Capitol Hill reporter, the GOP had set four guards where the bill was being kept. Paul is seen asking for a copy of the bill, which a staffer refused to give him.
Morning Consult's Eli Yokley reported that Paul was refused. He had apparently brought his own copy machine just in case he got his hands on it.
This is just another day in the ongoing battle between Paul and his own party over the method by which Obamacare should be repealed. His suspicions that the GOP will take a lukewarm approach to Obamacare's repeal stems from a meeting between Republicans about how best to tackle the problem. Paul walked out of the meeting in frustration after too many Republicans suggested keeping parts of Obamacare, such as Medicaid expansion.
Before that, Paul gave a blistering review of the Republican budget that the GOP had been calling a "vehicle to repeal Obamacare." In his 20-minute presentation, Paul hammered the legislation for adding $10 trillion to our national debt.
