Republicans do not want the country to know what is in their health care bill.

They haven't just had a couple of weeks, the GOP has had 6 years to come up with a unifying policy alternative for their party. Instead, they are acting like the dog that caught the car.

That's the mind boggling part.

They (Republicans) brought the issue up repeatedly, voted again and again to repeal the bill when they knew they didn't have the votes. But at least they had a plan, at least most people thought they had some sort of alternative. After all, that's what they complained about... their (apparently nonexistent) ideas weren't included when given the opportunity. Leap forward to now, they still have no plan.

WTH!? 

It's like the people that try out for American Idol, the really horrible ones who can't sing. They talk in the pre-interview about how this is their goal, their big shot, their opportunity to make their dream come true... then they go William Hung. Congress has gone all William Hung. They're getting an opportunity to do what they want, and they're doing a really horrible job.
