And by providing the context all we learn is that not only did she mean what she said but she was busy telling tall tails and lies about how great the mystical bill was going to be. lol Turns out the bill was as much of a disaster as she is as a representative.BrooksBearLives said:Sigh. It's intellectually dishonest to present that video without the whole quote.RioRata said:Waco1947 said:

They didn't read the bill

No one said she didn't say it. But it's presented as if she hadn't read it. And the original post clearly inferred that -which is the opposite of the truth.
WHen you listen to her comments, it's clear she meant that the public will see how great it is when it's passed. It was a giant bill.
Btw, no death panels, yet.
And spare me the "disaster of a bill" comments. It's one of the more popular bills passed in recent history for the size of it and it has only gained in popularity as -wait for it- people have seen what was in it.
We can argue about the merit. But the facts are there. It has largely been a success despite the constant attempts to weaken or remove it by a Republican Party that has no plan to replace it.
