WASHINGTON — It was a search for the “Affordable Care Act
replacement” day on Thursday as one frustrated Republican Rand Paul— scampered
through Capitol corridors, hunting for an elusive copy of a bill that
Republican leaders have withheld from the public as they search for party
unity.
Two powerful House committees
plan to vote on the measure in a week or two, opponents spent hours making the
point that almost no one has actually seen legislation that would affect the
lives and pocketbooks of millions of Americans.
Senator Rand Paul,
a Kentucky Republican who has criticized the repeal bill, also tried and failed
to see it. Senator Paul said: I’ll will not accept an Obamacare lite Bill.
“I have been told that the House Obamacare
bill is under lock & key, in a secure location, & not available for me
or the public to view,” Mr. Paul said on Twitter as
he set off in search of the document, carrying a portable copy machine and
trailed by television cameras and a pack of journalists.
Sen.
Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on
Thursday blasted
House Republican leaders for keeping their ObamaCare repeal and replace
legislation under wraps.

legislation, despite lingering disagreements among Republicans and outright
opposition from Democrats.
