Pelosi: Remember How Carefully We Considered Obamacare? (Really?)
Townhall.com ^ | January 16, 2017 | Cortney O'Brien

Democrats couldn't bother to read all of the Affordable Care Act legislation while it was being debated in Congress. Of course you can't really blame them, considering it was 2,000 pages long. Yet, they passed it anyway, without one Republican vote. Before the vote, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi showed her hand by infamously noting they had to "pass it to see what's in it."

Now, as Republicans have begun the process of repealing the ACA, Pelosi is acting as if the original document was gone over with a fine tooth comb.

With @HouseGOP sprinting ahead w/o plan, it’s worth remembering how carefully we considered #ACA. #FlashbackFriday https://t.co/yOVNGF9TtU— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) January 13, 2017

The document Pelosi links to outlines the "debate" Democrats had over the legislation, in the form of hearings and markups.

Pelosi is getting defensive because both the Senate and the House accepted a budget resolution last week that includes language to repeal Obamacare. President-elect Donald Trump has told Americans not to worry about their health insurance because the Republican alternative will cover everyone.

If there were any justice in this world, this lunatic would’ve suffered a Botox-induced stroke by now!

She is painfully stupid. I just don’t get it...

If any conservative had said “We won’t know what’s in it until we pass it” for a major legislation, they would have been run out of town on a rail by the media. With her crickets. Drain the media swamp, Trump!

I wonder who got stuck with being her court appointed conservator and/or guardian?

Her level of incompetence is a serious danger to herself and others. She’s a very special type of 51/50.

Yeah, that’s careful consideration...
