Schatz Leads Senate Democrats In Late Night Talkathon To Urge Republicans To Abandon Their Closed Door Approach In Drafting Trumpcare And Show The American People Their Bill
Schatz, Senate Democrats Held the Senate Floor Until Late Into the Night
WASHINGTON – This evening, U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) led a group of Senate Democrats in holding the Senate floor to urge Senate Republicans to abandon their closed door approach in drafting Trumpcare and show the American people their bill.
“The Republicans are going about this in a way that is so procedurally disgusting that it is an embarrassment to our democracy. They are hiding this bill because people will be outraged when they find out what’s in it,” Senator Schatz said in his remarks on the Senate floor. “Republicans haven’t held a single hearing on Trumpcare. No one who knows anything about health care is allowed to say anything about this bill. They are not allowed to even see it. This is a violation of the way democracy should work.”
