Pelosi on health bill: Pass first, understand later

Here's the latest from Nancy Pelosi, on the health care bill:

"But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

That's what she told the National Association of Counties earlier this week. Here's the press release:

I have a really dumb suggestion. Why don't the House and Senate try to learn what's in the bill first, before voting for it? Or am I just a troublemaker for suggesting such a radical departure from their usual M.O?

Which is another reason to oppose it. Not only is it destructive to our health care system, not only is it tantamount to a government takeover, but it's a blind bet.
