The Finance Committee defeated an admendment 13-10 that required full language of proposed legislation to be online for 72 hours before final committee vote.
This morning the committee completed their work on the health-care bill but they used "conceptual language."
Thomas Carper(D.-Del.)said the actual text will be "incomprehensible." He says anyone who says they can read the actual language and get much out of it is trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
What's wrong with having the actual language online for a couple of days before voting? A lot of things can get slipped into the legislation between the "conceptual language" and actual text.
