All four Republican senators from Tennessee and Georgia signed a letter this week asking for transparency in the process of putting together the House and Senate health care bills.
“Closed door negotiations and unprecedented special provisions in exchange for votes do not meet the expectations of the American people,” the letter states.
The letter — signed by Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker of Tennessee and Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson of Georgia — asks that negotiations be televised on C-SPAN.
Officials announced this week that final negotiations on the bill would bypass a traditional conference committee and would instead be done chiefly by Senate, House and White House leaders.
