Democrats employed repeated delay tactics on the House floor Wednesday to
protest the GOP’s decision to plow ahead with committee markups of a
proposal to repeal and replace ObamaCare without an independent analysis of
its cost and effects.
Two Democrats, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) and Rep. Jim McGovern (
Mass.), forced procedural votes on motions to adjourn to extend the amount
of time lawmakers had to spend on the floor Wednesday afternoon.
The House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees have been
considering the legislation released less than 48 hours ago to repeal and
replace ObamaCare, with both markups expected to stretch on for hours.
Democrats have been protesting the GOP moving ahead with committee markups
without a score from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. They’ve
noted that the first committee markup on the original Affordable Care Act
legislation didn’t take place until 30 days after the text had been
publicly posted.
The CBO analysis is expected sometime early next week. House GOP leaders
hope to bring the legislation, titled the American Health Care Act, to the
floor later this month. | G*******h
