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.
Give them an inch and they want a mile.

This isn't about posting a final version of the bill. This is about catching a politician in a lie, and using it as a weak chance to bash her. Let's get real.
The first version has been available to read, which I'll bet none of you have. I know I didn't. Legal speak put's me right to sleep.
I'll go one further and predict that even when the final version is released, none of you will read it anyway. But hey, by all means have your fun.

Crucify Pelosi and Obama all you want, but make sure that you've got Bush, Cheney, Hassert, Gingrich up there as well.

Wow! Some of you people really have to learn to let go. Would it not be better if everyone was keeping their eye on the ball?
How can you not stumble and fall if your head is always turned backwards.

The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats want a little input into the way their Corporate Masters run things, where as Republicans are perfectly content to give them the money (in the form of massive corporate tax cuts and loopholes) and let them do as they will.

"If the government wanted to take away your rights, they would not hide it in a Healthcare Bill. Our Government needs no excuse take away the rights that it gave you."
Dude you have got to take a civics class...Our Gov't does not provide us rights, our constitution does! Sense you obviously have not read the Declaration of Independence here a little teaser...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

You are actually advocating congress voting on a bill that will profoundly change our lives, that no one - not even congress - gets a chance to read before it is voted on?
