8. Can I also ask about an argument: the ACA being passed with "dirty legislative tricks"?

I'm not sure what this is about. Why would any "tricks" be required with 60 D senators and a majority in the house?

Also "pass it to find out what's in it." What's with that?

Edit: I looked into the pelosi quote above. Basically there was no senate bill at the time, and she was saying something had to be voted on before you can argue about provisions in the bill.
