Basically, instead of this law only affecting the people who buy healthcare on the exchanges, it affects the tens of millons who get their healthcare from companies. This could absolutely gut heatlhcare.
Oh yeah and no one can seen the bill because you know too hard.

as you know, taken in context Pelosi's meaning was that the public would be pleased once the law was enacted. She wasn't speaking to lawmakers. She meant there was so much yelling and screaming and misinformation that Americans wouldn't understand it until it goes into law. Somehow that quote got turned into meaing lawmakers didn't know what was in teh bill. Which is not true - it bounced around for 18 months, rather than a month for this one.
I'd add more shame to the GOP in the house:
Republicans are rushing to pass the bill before the CBO has time to 'score' it. Because they know headlines about 20 million people losing healthcare would ah change the dynamic.
shameful behavior.
