I just read in Politico that Republican Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma is "threatening" to have the entire House health care bill read on the floor of the Senate if it passes (which it did, yesterday, by a vote of 220-215). Some Democratic aides are accusing Coburn of attempting to stall debate, calling him an obstructionist ("Dr. No"). Right. Better not to read the bill and just pass the thing. Why bother with the nuisance of actually reading it?
