Health care costs out of control: Solution 3: Don't rush

In the rush to get a health care bill into law, a single amendment to it by Senator Debbie Stabenow was passed by a voice vote. Then later the Only after the amendment passed did the Congressional Budget Office realize it made a mistake in the scoring and under counted the one amendment to the tune of $600 million.

Quoting from the above link "It took Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) to point it out. And now he is offering an amendment of his own to make sure this does not happen again." Basically he suggested congress couldn't vote on something until it had been publicly available for a certain amount of time. His amendment was defeated. Where is the transparency at that the leaders claim this health care reform will have, if no one can look at the proposed law?

Even more telling, is that senators are willing to force Medicaid on those who can't afford it, but are unwilling to accept the same coverage themselves if this bill passes! The New York Times details this unwillingness to be subject to themselves, what they think is good for all us.
