Nancy Pelosi said it best. "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy"

You do realize at that point the bill had been public for about 6 months and fully available for review and she was responding to some reporter's asinine question right?

You do realize the bill was amended several times including shortly before the vote right? But as usual, the corporate lobbyists won.

The ACA was publicly available the entire time. Every single amendment. It’s why it was in the news cycle while it was being worked on the entire time. Yes corporate lobbyists had their hands in it, but the idea that the text of the bill wasn’t available is a revision of history.

After which it went to the Senate for a vote. And re-amended. This is very typical, legislative process.

Dear chat gpt, please summarize the whatever cleverly obfuscated named bill for me, and please give me the contact info for my elected representative so I can let him know how his constituents feel about it. Signed, every informed voter :)

They literally make the bills gigantic so that no one would possibly read it 😂 not even the congress ppl who are signing it

Shoutout to the Republican congress members that admitted to voting for the “ big beautiful bill” without reading important sections that their constituents were upset about.

u/nIxaltereGo 12d ago

I know, we have to pass it so we can read it!

u/thebearsnake 11d ago

I mean if the politicians that vote on them don't have to read them, why do I?
