    "Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who voted for Obamacare, said Thursday that the Senate should hold a hearing to find out what’s in a bill introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) that makes it easier to fire those responsible for the mounting backlog at VA medical facilities, before senators vote on it.


    'I happen to think that the bill that was passed in the House yesterday has many important provisions, which I happen to agree with, but as the senator from Florida knows, we have not held a hearing on this legislation. And some of us are old-fashioned enough to know that maybe folks in the Senate might want to know what is in the bill before we voted on it,' said Sanders on the Senate floor."


    And this bill is less than 3 full pages (unlike the ACA which no one read before ramming it down our throats). Another glaring example why we need to vote out these cockroaches.

    How long does it take to read three pages?
