Well we could say...
THE DEMOCRATS WERE SO ASHAMED OF THEIR HEALTH CARE BILL THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ANYONE TIME TO READ IT BEFORE PASSING IT! LMAO!!!
You can say that, and even write it, but that simply is not true. The attack on health care reform began before the first word of the PPACA was on paper, and the effort to create hysteria that reform = Socialism began then too. You're a damn liar, or too stupid to have followed what actually occurred.
Let’s recall why the Affordable Care Act is so messed up
The Democratic leadership, fearful that momentum for Obamacare was fading as it continued to poll poorly, decided to rush a bill through the Senate before Christmas 2009. On November 18, Majority Leader Harry Reid merged two separate pending bills into a bill to be voted on by the Senate…. To meet the self-imposed Christmas deadline, Reid provided only six days for debate [on the final version of the bill]. The Senate bill passed on a strict party line vote, 60-39.
Few people, including Senators and their staffs, had time to read the whole 2,700 page bill, much less note any possible weaknesses, flaws, or ambiguities. Reid and other Senate Democrats weren’t terribly worried about this. The bill was set to go to the House, then back to the Senate, then to “reconciliation” between the House and the Senate versions, and then to the president for his signature. Everyone thought there would be plenty of opportunities to make changes.
But a major impediment arose soon after the Senate bill passed. Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy had died that past summer, and the January special election to replace him was won by Republican Scott Brown, who ran as a strong opponent of Obamacare. This deprived the Democrats of their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and meant that the Senate would not be able to pass a revised bill. The only way to pass Obamacare at this point was to have the House vote on identical legislation to the Senate bill, while engaging in legally dubious procedural maneuvering. And that’s what the Democrats did.
Congress ultimately passed a Senate bill that
nobody wanted, and, indeed, that
likely no one had read in its entirety when the Senate passed it, and that certainly no one fully understood. Senator Max Baucus, one of Obamacare’s chief architects, not only acknowledged not reading the bill, but opined that it would have been a “waste of time” to do so, because only experts could understand it….

In other words…
Pelosi: You’ll have to pass it to see what’s in it! Democracy the Democrat’s way!
