Show Us The Bill

SHOW US THE BILL -- (House of Representatives - July 28, 2009)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, when it comes to passing a health care bill, leadership insists ``this will happen.'' Speaker Pelosi claims to have the votes to get it passed on this floor.

If that's true, Madam Speaker, then show us the bill. If the rhetoric coming from the Democrats is true and if they're planning to steamroll a $1 trillion health care experiment through this body before August, let's see it. Let's debate it. Let's let the Americans see it.

The American people deserve to see a bill with plenty of time for an open and honest debate about exactly what is in store for them if this partisan experiment is passed. The American people have seen enough smoke and mirrors about the Washington bureaucrat who will be inserted directly between patients and physicians. They've seen enough smoke and mirrors about how many people will be forced off of their current health care plans. They've seen enough smoke and mirrors about the real cost of this plan. If you have the votes, then clear out the smoke. Show us the bill, and finally give hardworking Americans answers to their questions.

Show us the bill, Madam Speaker.
