It had fully integrated, tracked amendments well in advance of the bill. It was ginormous, but it was transparent for anyone who chose to wade through it.

With the haste with which this was pased, and the liars we know were promoting it, I can almost belive that the congresscritters are not aware of what they voted for - and truly believe they didn't do away with lifetime caps, ban on pre-existing condition exclusions, or exempt themselves.

I literally went line by line through the timeline and clicked on (or in two instances did a google search for) the amendments that were not linked. Not at all like the orderly process and transparency of the ACA.

What I can't understand or forgive is blindly voting on something that was never in their hands. Agree or disagree with the content, when your sole job in life is to create and pass legislation, you damn well better know what is in it before you vote on it. I truly believe that had they waited until the bill (and amendments) were available to the public this monstrosity would not have passed - and I believe some of these morons would have reached that conclusion on their own had there not been an artificially imposed deadline for voting.
