Earlier on Monday, Axios reported that although Senate Republicans are holding closed-door meetings to draft a healthcare bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, they won’t release it to the public.

In response, Twitter users are doing what they do best — tweeting their outrage and making jokes about the so-called “secret health care bill.”

“The Senate debated the Affordable Care Act for 80 days in 2009,” Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) tweeted. “The Republican health plan? STILL secret.”

“I admit being kind of stunned that the US Senate healthcare bill is a SECRET,” Canadian author Guy Gavriel Kay wrote. “American Constitution actually allows? Asking for a Canadian.”

Others, like Google web designer Kevin Fox, struck a more humorous tone.

“Maybe Russian hackers can get and release a copy of the GOP’s secret healthcare bill…,” Fox tweeted.

Think of it less as a “secret health care bill” and more of a fun surprise party.

GOP Senate drafting health care bill in secret. Why? Because it takes health care from millions & bankrupts more. All to give rich a tax cut

This is *unreal*. Senate has a bill but won’t show the public. They’re going to *send their secret bill* to the CBO https://t.co/2SETQHwuX1

Same people who accused Dems of “ramming through” ACA in *14* months now crafting bill in secret, afraid people might see the details. https://t.co/yNSFPSKQ2w
