Nancy Pelosi tells C-SPAN: ‘There has never been a more open process’ regarding heatlh care reform/ObamaCARE

nancy_pelosi_0.jpgYes, the whole ObamaCARE debacle in both the House and Senate is what liberal left wing nuts like Nancy Pelosi consider “an open process”. In fact, according to Pelosi, there has never been a more OPEN process! The odd timing of Pelosi’s remarks comes on the same day that C-SPAN wrote a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday asking that TV cameras be allowed to film negotiations to reconcile the House and Senate versions of health care reform legislation, according to The Hill.

But Pelosi said Congress has already been transparent throughout the process.

“There has never been a more open process for any legislation,” Pelosi said at a press conference.

Pelosi also hinted that holding informal negotiations–likely without TV cameras–might be the most practical way to push the legislation through.

“We will do what is necessary to pass the bill,” Pelosi said.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), assistant to the Speaker, said the healthcare bill had been “subjected to unprecedented level of public scrutiny.”

Pressed on whether C-SPAN cameras would be allowed in negotiations, Van Hollen hedged.

“We don’t even know if there’s going to be a conference committee,” he said, alluding to the likelihood that Democrats will reconcile the two bills behind closed doors.
