Conyers Sees No Point in Members Reading 1,000-Page Health Care Bill--Unless They Have 2 Lawyers to Interpret It for Them Monday, July 27, 2009 By Nicholas Ballasy, Video Reporter

(CNSNews.com) - During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.

“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.

“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

He said it............

[aimhigh]

Reminds me of those famous last words - You can trust us . .

[golfisnr1]

Its obvious a-hole take months to read and analyze the Bill before the vote.

[EagleUSA]

Conyers is a stupid as he is criminal.

[bandleader]

This is PRECISELY why”TERM LIMITS”are vital to the survival of this republic!

[VRWCmember]

Well, I see no point in most of those members remaining in Congress but their constituents keep sending them back to DC.

[armymarinedad]

How does a politician say your screwed?

Trust me!

[Hoosier-Daddy]

It is malfeasance and a breach of fiduciary duty to not read the bill.

[driftdiver]

Makes sense as long as they vote NO. Instead they are voting how the payoff instructions tell them too

[PhiKapMom]

So now even Conyers is saying the bill is filled with so much garbage only a lawyer could interpret. How dumb is that? Pelosi thought she could ran this through before people started finding out what was in the bill.

These idiots are guilty of legislative malpractice when they openly admit they don’t read and therefore don’t know what it is they are voting for! This is akin to a surgeon operating on your heart without looking at the x-ray or angiogram! Get with it people — vote these idiots out of office!!!!!
Just perhaps they shouldn’t be passing legislation even they don’t understand - just a thought!

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

“Jeez, you expect us to READ this stuff? What the hell’s wrong with you?”

Wow...just wow...he actually admitted that it’s too much trouble to know what he’s voting on. My heart breaks for our nation.

Colonel, USAFR

I think it should be read simply because that husband of a corrupt politician says it shouldn’t.

[Rennes Templar]

How about iving them two weweks to read it so attorneys can break it down and present it to congress and the American people for an informed decision, you arrogant scumbag masquerading as a representative of the people.

[Texas resident]

“He said it” So did steny hower over in the house. He was laughing about reading the bill.

[driftdiver]

"What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?” Uh... I'll go way out on a limb and suggest the following:

THEN DON'T PASS IT!!!

Our idiots in Congress who pass bills without reading or understanding are even more dangerous than a M.D. operating on you with the lights out. The M.D. only might hurt you while the congress critters hurt you, your family, your future kids & grandchildren and the whole country. The nonsense of Pelosi Democrats amounts to criminal intent and we should call them on it. Waiting to vote them out in 2010 could be too late due to the damage they are doing to us.
