22,000+ pages. Most of which was written by lobbyists and other organizations that had conflicting strategies and views. Some written by Big Pharma and big insurers.
I think the only hilarious outcome in this case was that the big insurers thought that by mandating insurance, they'd essentially have new customers by force of law. But because of all the other superfluous bullshit in the ACA, it ultimately ended up costing them more money than they'd have gotten from all these new "customers."
There may not always be justice in this world, but when things like this happen, one can't help but sit back and laugh a little.
I've noticed something with the House. Every single time they're going to write a bill up they take a vacation. I wonder exactly why that is? Are they getting paid under the table to try and pass shit? I wonder why they do this. Pisses me off. They're not for us lol. There's one way to fix this, not just get them the fuck out, we have to run ourselves and keep this damn country great or we are absolutely fucked and a civil war will be on our hands because I be God damn if they think they'll take our freedom away. Damn Chyna lovers.
Doubt they even read them. They'll get a briefing and some media talking points. The more industrious CoS might read the bill, and be across it, but even then most wont.
Sadly, I think most people are completely oblivious to how Congress actually works (rather: doesn't). They think legislators get together and come up with all these ideas themselves.
Getting a couple hundred people from the same party into a few committees that crank out bills thousands of pages long over the course of a couple of days should raise some red flags that there are other interests feeding pre-written legislation into these committees. But it doesn't.
$600 federal unemployment added to a 200 page bill written in a week. Bravo Chyna. You know how hard it is going to be to get anyone to come back to work when they make more NOT working?
Bingo!
We new that all the way back with Obamacare. Where you had to pass it to know what was in it. None of the congressmen knew what was in it.
Yep, that was a debacle and a half.

For anyone interested, this lays it out better than anyone I've seen: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/02/22/dcs-legislative-business/#more-184328
It is a fundamental understanding of how the system works that both depresses and motivates me.
This makes so much sense and explains the mass retirements by members of congress.

You actually thought that they could?

I wish more people understood this, though it should be obvious after Pelosi saying they "have to pass it to find out what's in it."
They would know if they wrote the bills

This is the most important article I have read in a long time
K Street and staffers.
I think they meant it was subbed out to k-pop
