LISTEN TO TLRS LATEST PODCAST:

By Kody Fairfield

the Republican Senator from Kentucky,Rand Paul, has tweeted out that he is currently being blocked by armed guards from viewing new, and the secretly kept Obamacare bill.

It was hours earlier that Paul tweeted that he heard that the Obamacare bill, being touted as Obamacare-lite by critics, is under lock & key, in a secure location, & not available for me or the public to view.

The liberty minded Senator did not take kindly to this information and made his intention to share the bill with the public clear in another tweet.

Upon his arrivalat aHouse hideaway in the Capitol, Paul claimed he was told he could not remove the bill and make it public. The Senator then held an impromptu press conference for media complaining about House Republicans lack of transparency, reportsPolitico.

Reports also came in that Paul brought a copy machine with him, presumably to make copies of the bill to share with anyone whod listen.

Politicoreports thatPaul had an exchange with a staffer as he tried to make off with the draft bill, which could be voted on later this month.

I said I liked to get a copy and they said no go. She wouldnt tell us anything really, Paul said in an interview afterward. Even if I were allowed to look at it, which it didnt look like I was, how is that democracy?

Republican aides said they believed the room on the first floor of the Capitol is being used for Energy and Commerce members to read the bill. Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), a committee member, said he was also not able to read the bill and was told it was not available, explainsPolitico.

Its literally illegal in my state to do that, Paul said in the interview. You can understand for national security why we do it. But for goodness sakes for a healthcare bill? Its crazy.

The battle for transparency is likely a case that will leave those who want honest repeal of Obamacare completed, either an entire replacement of the legislationor a complete scrapping of it, not a watered down Obamacare-lite version which would keep key provisions of the old bill.
