Sen. Rand Paul On Hunt for GOP Draft Healthcare Bill
Surprisingly, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is the hero we all need. He went off in search of a draft of the House Republicans’ plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, creating controversy which Democrats quickly supported.

Paul complained that the draft healthcare bill was being kept in a “secret location.” He then walked over to the House side to seek access to a room where he said the bill was being held.
His move quickly created a spectacle, with reporters gathering around Paul for an impromptu press conference.
“We want to see the bill. We have many objections,” Paul said outside of the room.

He also brought his own copy machine in order to make copies of the draft bill.
