Baucus Admits He Didn't Read Health Care Bill

I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language...We hire experts.

In response to [a constituent's] question and another from a woman asking if the health care law was Constitutional, Baucus gave a broad defense of the changes, comparing them to programs like Social Security and Medicare that were unpopular when passed but have proven beneficial to Americans over the long term.
