No Public Posting for Health Care Bill
Posted by Print

According to Senate staff, the Senate Finance Committee just rejected a proposal to require the full legislative text (not the summary) and final CBO cost estimate to be placed online 72 hours before a vote.

Before the Committee votes, taxpayers and even Senators won’t have a chance to read the bill or determine its projected cost.  So much for transparency and open government.
