I actually read a version of the law before the one that had to be
passed to find out what was in it. It was like 1200 pages long pdf, but
it was widely spaced and not much on each page, so it went pretty fast.
the thing that struck me about it was how much of it had very little to
do with provision of health/medical care, and how much asserted that
various commissions, boards, panels, etc. were to go off and figure it
out, without a lot of guidance on what "it" actually was. A lot of it
also related to other laws that needed to be changed, superseded,
deleted, etc. to read differently in various provisions of those. So
there was actually not much of anything in there that one could divine
what was actually meant or intended. Most curious, but then I thought
about it, and it became clearer.
I questioned a local candidate for the state legislature, who was waxing
enthusiastic about the PPACA, if he had actually read the law and
understood it sufficiently to 1) be enthusiastic and 2) vote on things
in the legislature regarding the law and whatever requirements it would
impose on the state. His response was that no, he had not actually read
it, and did not know anyone who had, at which point I said "I did" and
he then said, "Well, it is Obama's law, so I am all for it!" This guy
is a black democrat, which reflects most of our population in this
district, so I sorta expected that, but was also disappointed he could
not think for himself. He is a nice guy though, and seems to actually
do stuff if you ask him, so I guess you can't get the whole package.

Something passed that nobody read. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. It all
