Whachu talking bout Willis?
Pelosi unveiled the House version of the bill several days ago.

You can download it and read it here (warning 1990 pages big pdf).
What they are referring to is the final version being posted, which is still being negotiated. Is that really enough of a reason to bash her? Of coarse it is, if you are a right wing extremist.
That is EXACTLY the time you want to watch a bill because THAT is the time when all the weird stuff gets slipped in!!!
A farmer had prodded her state rep to sponsor a bill that was against NAIS - Animal ID. She watch the bill go through one house get passed go into committee and come out for a vote only to find a few words had been inserted to make the bill REQUIRE Animal ID. She had a devil of a time to get to all the reps she had lined up to support the bill to stop them from voting for it. Then she had to start the whole process over to try and get a decent bill passed.
That is why anyone who has experienced the legislative "sausage-making" will tell you the 11th hour is when you have to watch a bill very closely. That is when all the nasty bits get slipped into the bills. Do you really think anyone is going to READ the final version before they vote on it?? Don't you think it is very suspect that the final version will not be available for anyone to read? Heck they can slip in a completely new bill and no one would know as long as the first couple of pages were similar!
