Reserving the right to object. None of these Senators have read the bill. I have the floor. The bill is 142 pages long compared to the 2,700-page ObamaCare bill. They can read the bill; if they have objections to the provisions, we can debate them, but what they are talking about is a bill that does not exist, which they have not read. I object. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The minority leader.
