@Cruiser Sounds like you live in either a Southern or a Midwestern state. It’s not the president who screwed you. It’s your governor. And by the way, Pelosi never said that. What she said was this:
“You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”
Context is important here. Notice that she said ”we [meaning Congress] have to pass the bill so that you [meaning the American people] can find out what is in it.” And the “away from the fog of the controversy” clause is pretty important, too. The claim she was making wasn’t that it was impossible to know what was in the bill. It was that the people would come to appreciate it once they saw it in action (rather than just hearing all of the scaremongering against it). And guess what? She was right (look especially at exhibits 9, 10, and 11). People started to like it a lot after it was implemented.
