Nancy Pelosi press exchange over process for Cassidy Graham health care block grant bill

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California is asked by a reporter about Republicans breaking with tradition, custom and regular order at a weekly press briefing, compared with similar practices by Democrats, should they regain majorities. Pelosi said Congress waited for a score with parameters from the Congressional Budget Office before passing the affordable care act, that you have to have the facts and cannot tell the American people, how much a bill will not cost or how many it would serve. Pelosi calls a healthcare reform bill, cosponsored by Senators Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham a stinkeroo, describing activism against the bill and the uncertainty people cannot have in their lives. Pelosi says nothing is more eloquent than citizens hearing from each other and members from constituents, that the suddenness with which the bill gained momentum in the Senate was based on a Senate parliamentarian ruling, but that Republicans never had forever to consider it, that they might be able to sneak it through. While people pay more attention to hurricanes and other issues, but she is never surprised by anything on Capitol Hill.
