Word of advice to the White House: stick to reality. Health care is a big deal and we can’t afford any #alternativefacts.

The truth? ACA resulted from one of the most transparent drafting processes in recent memory.

There were 79 hearings and markups in 2009 & 2010 on the ACA. (Those were bipartisan meetings, for the record)

Members talked with over 181 witnesses (both D&R) during nearly 100 hours of hearings.

239 amendments from both Dems and Republicans were considered. 121 ended up being accepted.

And the bill was posted for *30 days* before the first committee held a vote on ACA.

Outside Washington, @HouseDemocrats held 3,000 town halls and events to hear from our constituents on the bill.

(That’s not even counting the thousands of calls, emails, and letters we received)
