Last week, the Speaker of the House said, ``We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it.'' That would be like buying a house before checking it out to see how many bedrooms were in it or what the colors were or whether we could even afford it in the first place. Most Americans don't buy shoes without trying them on, buy a car without test driving it, much less support a takeover of our health care system that will include life-changing decisions that are being kept from you in the dark.

This is an insult and a sham.”
