A new GOP alternative to ObamaCare is reportedly being hidden somewhere in the U.S. Capitol to safeguard it from leaks, and one GOP Senator is refusing to accept such secrecy toward the American people.  Senator Rand Paul has begun what may be the greatest game of hide-and-seek the nation has ever seen by setting out with his staff with a copy machine to find the bill’s top-secret location.  He does, after all, have a point: the privacy of the bill may prevent a cost estimate prior to a Senate vote, and echoes of “we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it” are ringing in my ears as we speak.

Senator Paul’s hunt began yesterday, when he documented the start of his journey toward transparency.

I am heading to the secure location where they are keeping the House obamacare bill. I will demand a copy for the American people.

With little luck yesterday, he today reached out to Politico, where new details of the secret bill emerged, and continued to document his search around the city:

There were some obvious places to look. Perhaps near the statues of some great Republicans from the past. pic.twitter.com/vXLOQwaQZi

Shortly thereafter, he was tricked by the “bait and switch” of D.C.:

Nope. Not there either. It was another bait and switch pic.twitter.com/9HJq4bwVuh

Another day without the bill in the hands of the American people and their representatives. But @politico has it!

Don’t give up the search, Senator Paul.  We’ll all keep an eye out for that bill in the rest of the country for you.
