I think it does support it though. It’s a rare moment of lucidity and honesty from a congressperson. That’s how things really work when there’s a lot of effort required: just skip the effort and “may god bless the US” after it passes. Otherwise how do you explain that _affordable_ care act has nearly nothing in it about affordability? I have what looks to me like a plausible explanation: the only people who have actually read the whole thing are the lobbyists who wrote it.
Except Pelosi wasn't saying that she personally hadn't read the bill; she was saying that discussion of the bill had become impossible because discourse had degraded so badly, and as a result the only way to get meaningful information about what it contained, to be sure that you weren't getting fed lies by one party or the other, was to wait for it to pass and see what effects it had.
If you want to talk about bills which were voted on without being read, I recall a number of articles about the tax reform bill pushed by the Republicans; it was getting dropped on people's desks mere hours before the vote, with whole sections crossed out and notes written in margins. If you search, I'm sure you can find quotes from that time period about how it was impossible for people to read the complete bill and form an opinion on it before they were required to vote. You can also find quotes on the negative effects the rushed passage had, with loopholes and mistakes and unintended side effects that need to be addressed.
Considering that you've tried to misrepresent Pelosi's quote multiple times in this conversation instead of bringing up an easy example where the thing you're allegedly mad about actually happened, I'm not sure I believe you.
