Come on Roy, I know you know better than that. They all read it, particularly the Repubs. They were desperate to try and find somethings to blast, of course they read it. And there are some things to blast, some of the Dems agree on that.

I think it's clear no elected official has read it.

So we should let people opt out of laws, regulations, and contracts they are not smart enough to understand?

When I was growing up I was taught that if you wish to have an opinion for or against something, the first thing you should do is know what that thing is yourself. Otherwise one is rightly judged an idiot. I guess a number of people have forgotten that principal.

Probably not.

But they'll save trillions of dollars by repealing it.

It's a done deal.

Bye bye "free" health care.
Good.

We can't afford "free" health care.

Yeah, I kept waiting for Cavuto to ask Rep. Lee if she had read the entire bill, and ask if she read it before she voted for it. But she probably just went with the Pelosi admonition that they had to pass it to know what was in it. Sounds like a bowel movement.

Considering the day after it was signed into law they needed to rush in, and amend it to cover children, and we have since issued over 200 one year waivers to businesses that would otherwise lose their employee health coverage.

Just repeal it, and write a new bill. this time we can discuss health care out in the open and write good law.

I do like the irony, it was not required that we read it before congress passed it, but we are now supposed to read before we repeal it.

How about this one, since no one read the bill before it was made into law, we scrap it, and write law the proper way?

Ah, why do you think the HC favorability is rising? Pelosi was correct, many had to wait to see what is in it. More and more people are recognizing the lies, were lies.

If you believe the healthcare bill is a bill to give free healthcare then you do not know what you are even against.
