Floor Speech on Health Care Sunday Evening 12-20

Published | Video Starts at 08:02

Well, guess what? This historic vote we're going to have at 1 in the morning will occur 40 hours roughly after we got the bill. So much for 72 hours. We don't know that CBO, the Congressional Budget Office score the cost. Their estimate, even with the phony assumptions that are included in this bill, will only be available for 37 hours. And then we find out their other sweetheart deals which make this thing begin to stink to high heaven. Things like special legislative language saying the state of Nebraska. (08:02–08:15)

CLAIM
