are you looking for kickbacks or something? You won't find public record of that being discussed if the republicans say they're absolutely not going to support the bill.

But there is a record of kickbacks and sweetheart deals being offered to get democrats on board. Interesting.[/quote]
Because they agreed to it.

So, it is your position that there were deals offered to get republicans on board with the ACA but you can't show any of them because they didn't accept the deals? Then I have to wonder how do you know?[/quote]
I don't know anything about deals offered. Maybe maybe not. I'm showing you that republican amendments and republican language were included in the bill. You asked about kickbacks, but I'm talking about any type of overture, not just kickbacks. You don't give kickbacks and sweethearts deals to people for voting against you so obviously obama is going to say "offered McCain a kickback to vote for ACA but he said no lol".

Except all the language from them that was put in the bill. I suppose Dems used republican ideas in their bill cause they couldn't think of anything else?

Yep. Partisanship. That's what this comes down to. Republicans were for these ideas before but now they hate them. Refused to compromise, and instead chose to obstruct so when Obama saw that happening he decided to go ahead without them and he managed to get it passed.
