Why it is necessary to read bills before voting on them and signing them

Idiots.  Our elected officials have proven themselves just that.  Here they are touting Obamacare as health care for everyone and how it will save us all money.  Well, when you don't read 2000+ page bills that are filled with who knows what, this is what you get:  According to the AP, early retirees who make up to $64,000 a year can get Medicaid under Obamacare!  Yup, I kid you not.  You just can't make up this stupidity.

"President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.
The change would affect early retirees: A married couple could have an annual income of about $64,000 and still get Medicaid, said officials who make long-range cost estimates for the Health and Human Services department."

Thanks for once again foolishly spending our money, Congress and the President.  Perhaps, to paraphrase Professor Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, you all should spend more time "reading bills, rather than passing them" willy nilly and without a single coherent thought amongst you.

You all get a big, giant "F".  I can't wait to see what other idiocies are in this law.
