Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressed discontent about the secrecy with which Senate Republicans have worked on their plan to repeal and replace the ACA. During an interview Wednesday with MSNBC, Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, La., said he wouldn't vote for the bill if he isn't allowed to read it first, reports The Hill.
"If I don't get to read it, I don't vote for it," he said of the Senate's Better Care Reconciliation Act, which lawmakers unveiled Thursday, according to the report. "If I don't get to study it, I don't vote for it. And so it's just a question — we got pretty detailed discussion, though, as to what we wish to do."
Mr. Cassidy said he doesn't like the process and won't defend it.
"I can either sit around and complain about the process or I can dig in, try and make it better," he said, according to The Hill.
