I do not understand how the bill got passed the first time. I do not know who to trust. You are limited on what you can say Bill, so I trust you yet know you are critiqued.

The ACA was "passed" through a series of tricks and "political maneuvers' in 2010 without a SINGLE REpublican voting in favor of  the law. IT was passed by a Congress which had Democratic majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Even so the Democrats still had to use political chicanery to get the law passed. This included special "deals" for certain members so they could justify thier vote. The "Cornhusker Kickback" and the "Louisiana Purchase" were just a couple of financial BRIIBES used to lure DEMOCRATS to vote for the ACA. The las still took up until the 12th hour and despite massive Republican efforts this bill was passed.

Of course no one actually READ the Bill which is why Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said "you have to pass the bill to see what is in the Bill away from the fog"

Well now three years later the fog is lifted and all we can see is disaster ahead. For people getting notices saying they no longer have insurance, to the dramatic rise in part time employees, to the cratering economic impact this bill is going to hurt a lot of people. Sadly the President will read about this in the paper one day as he is too smart to pay attention to the disasters that he creates....

Do we know the exact date in which Pelosi made this comment...."you have to pass the bill to see what is in the bill away from the fog"? I am trying to present the truth to a liberal acquaintance who doesn't believe Pelosi said this. Maybe the truth will set her free. Or at least question her beliefs?
What date did Pelosi say this?
It passed because it is the humane thing to do.

I don't understand why you don't want people to have healthcare.
