It seems it is being hidden..

Ooops. The page you are trying to reach could not be found. Is it possible you typed the URL in wrong? Or perhaps the link you clicked in an email wrapped to the next line?

But Obama claimed it would be on .gov websites, not Chicago now blogs...

"facing a vote in the House of Representatives"

A vote?

Not necessarily a vote as we understand a "vote".

Bachmann Rips Media for Not Covering Deem and Pass; Suggests Pelosi Impeachment Warranted | NewsBusters.org

Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a law.

The crafting of the bill certainly was.

Where have you been for the last year?

You conveniently forgot this passage;

Quote:
But in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each House respectively.
If they use the Slaughter rule, they won't be "voting" on the bill, they will "deem" it passed. That ok with you?

Back when my boyfriend was taking his actuarial exams I used to help him study. That's what this language reminds me of. I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand it. I'd like a translated version.

Don't you just love this left winger spin?------> health care bill is online. It's not "hidden away behind closed doors."


It's too bad the OP could not have been more honest and made the title:

health care bill is online. It's no longer "hidden away behind closed doors."
