Sen. Tom Coburn has just demanded that the Senate clerk read the
single-payer amendment offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders -- and it's
767 pages.
Typically, Senators offering amendments will ask for unanimous
consent to avoid reading the entire meausure, but all it takes is
one Senator to object to demand its reading, and Coburn objected
to Sanders attempt to dispense with the reading of the amendment.
