Baucus Says Reading The Bills Like Obamacare Is A Waste Of Time

From Fire Andrea Mitchell.com:

Democrat Max Baucus says reading bills like ObamaCARE wastes his time


Why bother reading bills that you sponsor? It wastes time. That’s essentially what Democrat from Montana Max Baucus had the nerve the say at forum in Montana with Obama regime’s Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. When asked by an audience member Baucus had read the whole bill, and also according to The Hill saying before the answer:



“if not, that is the most despicable, irresponsible thing.” “if not, that is the most despicable, irresponsible thing.”



Baucus replied:



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





Baucus’s office later tried to minimize the damage by saying his comments did not mean that he does not know what it is in the law.



“Senator Baucus wrote the bill that passed the Finance Committee and then worked with his colleagues to write the health care bill that is law today. He has spent years crafting this policy and hundreds of hours reading and perfecting it,” spokeswoman Erin Shields said. “There is simply no question that he understands the provisions in the health care law and knows it is a historic improvement that will make our health care system more affordable and accessible for families in Montana and across America.”
