Sen. Rand Paul Searches Unsuccessfully for Obamacare Replacement Bill

HeadlineMar 03, 2017

On Capitol Hill, Republican Senator Rand Paul is blasting his party’s leadership for failing to make public a draft document of the Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Sen. Paul brought a portable copy machine with him Thursday as he unsuccessfully searched the offices of the House of Representatives for a draft of the bill. At one point, Capitol police barred Sen. Paul from entering a room where the document was rumored to be. Sen. Paul told reporters, “We’re here asking for a written copy of this because this should be an open and transparent process.”
