"We Have to Pass the Bill to See What is in the Bill" The Hypocrite of the Week is...

    


Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, not only were you our first Hypocrite of the Week, you are now the first to win the award twice. You really make it difficult doing a Hypocrite of the Week and keeping it interesting. You seem to have the ability to qualify every week. This week however you left me no choice.

Nancy do you remember this?

"You've heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don't know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it's about diet, not diabetes. It's going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

Just in case you forgot:


What has changed Nancy? That well documented quote is what you said about the Affordable Care Act 7 years ago. This is what you said 7 years almost to the day later about the American Care Act:

“The American people and Members have a right to know the full impact of this legislation before any vote in Committee or by the whole House,” she wrote. “These are critical questions and I hope that Republicans will honor their responsibility to the American people both before the Committees vote and before the final bill goes to the House floor.”

I had no choice Nancy. With statements like that I had to award you the distinction of being our first ever two-time winner. Congratulations.
