You didn't watch the same show I did then or you were in the bathroom.
They even name the UHC lobbyists who wrote the bill.
Nobody said it was a secret meeting either. That was just where the
text of the bill came from.

If I get a minute I will clip out that segment and put it up on my web
site as an MP3.

I never said I watched the show. I looked at the synopsis.

Yet you still feel competent to refute the findings. Amazing.
Bear in mind this is PBS, not Fox.

The synopsis was misleading? Well, ok.


So, it's somehow immoral to meet in someone's office? It's not clear that
they actually did meet there, but it sure is a great Republican talking
point... it's REID's fault!

It is immoral to write a bill behind closed doors that affects the
whole country

That's pretty much how legislation has been done for the last, what, 100
years? more?

So, if it was behind closed doors, then it was hidden? Just checking.
