Write your Senator and demand they do something to actually stimulate jobs and get money in peoples pockets so they can afford health care.
After jobs come back write your Senator again and demand health care portability with some tort reform. Then we can truly see the free markets work. Right now Health Care does not exist in a free market. Competition is limited at best with a few key players per state, who have well paid lobbyist to manage the status quo.
What this ill informed article neglects to reveal is —- READING OF LEGISLATION ON THE SENATE FLOOR IS A REQUIREMENT BY SENATE RULES AND PROCEDURE. Often this is dismissed by unanimous vote. This health care bill has already broken too many procedures. For anyone to complain about this HAS NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.
Government health care will be expensive, inefficient and a back door to reduce our rights due to the cost of health care.
Get a Clue Dotes!

You are ignorant to Senate Procedures if you think Coburn “demanded” the bill be read. He was 100% following rules and procedure.
Your article makes it appear he was acting outside the rules. It’s obvious your political alignments are with Durbin and Sanders as your article is incomplete and lacks any quotes from Coburn.
Journalism is dead, there is no skeptical reporting any more. Just take what is handed to you by political mouthpieces and regurgitate it as Gospel. Any monkey could do that job Sue. You should be ashamed of yourself.
