The GOP offered 721 the Dems 67. The GOP tried to bury the bill in amendments so they could whine later that their amendments were rejected. 197 amendments were PASSED, 161 from the GOP and 36 from the Dems.Nothing but a pack of GOP lies!the obamacare bill (ACA) was rammed through congress on dems-only votes. It was written by dem staffers in a sealed room, no republican amendments were allowed in either chamber, no floor debate was allowed. NO compromise was to be tolerated by pelosi and reid---------it was terrible legislation passed in the worst possible manner..
For example, just recently the GOP were bragging how the Grassley amendment requires the Congress to sign up for the ACA. The GOP offered over 100 amendments.
yes, the GOP offered a lot of amendments, neither reid or pelosi allowed any of them to reach the floor for debate or a vote.
the Grassley amendment was after the passage of the bill.
