Why don't we get to read the "health care" bill and know what it costs?

The Democrats have killed an amendment that would require a full disclosure of the costs of the bill by the CBO and a three day waiting period so we can read the bill once it's completed. Where is the transparency we were promised? What is the big secret? Is it the 560 pork laden amendments the Democrats are hiding?

    Federal Health Bill Calls For Billions in Orwellian Psych Programs and Treatments

    It could have something to do with what happened with the last proposed bill they let get out. Private citizens were the only ones reading it -- did you notice at the town hall meetings how many Congressmen/women had NOT read HR3200?

    Yet they tried to lie about what was in it, and force it down our throats anyway.

    We will know, as intended by our Government, what it will cost when we start receiving out IRS returns following its passage, believe me, we will know.

    It is still in development. There is no final bill.
