Sen. Rand Paul Searches Unsuccessfully for Obamacare Replacement Bill
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, Republican Senator Rand Paul is blasting his party's
leadership for failing to make public a draft document of the Republican
plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Sen. Paul brought a portable
copy machine with him Thursday as he unsuccessfully searched the offices
of the House of Representatives for a draft of the bill. At one point,
Capitol Police barred Sen. Paul from entering a room where the document
was rumored to be. Sen. Paul told reporters, "We're here asking for a
written copy of this because this should be an open and transparent
process."
