“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language, We hire experts.”
“It’s not perfect, nothing’s perfect, but I’m telling you, ma’am, it’s a good start, Mark my words, several years from now you’re going to look back and say, ‘eh, maybe it isn’t so bad.’”
Max Baucus at a town hall meeting in Libby
How would he know if it is perfect or not if he never read it? It is simply stunning that a piece of legislation that will affect every single American can be passed without being read, let alone understood, by congress.
It is pink slip time!!

Or, just place a cap on the size of the bills.
