Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said on Wednesday that he wouldn't vote for a healthcare bill if he wasn't first able to read and study it. <\/p>\n
During an interview on MSNBC, Cassidy was asked whether he thinks he'll get the chance to see the GOP healthcare plan and decide whether it is satisfactory before a vote. <\/p>\n
\"If I don't get to read it, I don't vote for it,\" he said. <\/p>\n
\"If I don't get to study it, I don't vote for it. And so it's just a question we got pretty detailed discussion, though, as to what we wish to do.\" <\/p>\n
Cassidy said he's not defending the process and doesn't like it. <\/p>\n
\"I can either sit around and complain about the process,\" he said, \"or I can dig in, try and make it better.\" <\/p>\n
Lawmakers and the publicare expected to receive draft text of the healthcare bill on Thursdaymorningahead of a likely vote next week. <\/p>\n
