Independent U.S. Sen. Angus King of Maine says he has a “radical suggestion” for those who are seeking passage of a U.S. health care bill — follow normal protocols.
He says a bill should be submitted and put before the requisite committees.
“Have hearings, have debates, have information, get information from around the country, from experts, from people that know about the topic, and that’s how we make good laws,” King says.
Senate Republicans have been criticized for crafting their health care plan behind closed doors and releasing it only days before a hoped for vote.
King, who opposes the measure, says bad process leads to a bad bill.
