What about 78% of people being against it when it's a poll taken at a website that provides the bill for reading? |
I personally believe that the lack of understanding of bills is directly a result of bills being far too large. Realistically, if you can’t explain the bill in principle in 1 or 2 pages, complete the bill in detail in a dozen pages, and include all addendums in under 100 pages the bill is too complicated; and should be split into smaller bills to each be passed on their own vote. I could be wrong but I suspect that had this healthcare bill been split into a dozen smaller bills each bill would have been substantially better, received bi-partisan support, and had the support of the people behind it because it would be far easier to understand and improve upon.
