Obviously, that's not a true statement. Congress had nearly a year to read and learn WHAT was in the bill, and they did.
Pelosi's statement was unfortunately taken out of context, which is not an unusual tactic in politics. Here's part of what she said: "You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, etc. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy." Notice she said "you", meaning the public, not Congress.
Clearly, the sense of Pelosi’s remarks was that the benefits of the bill – rather than the contents – could only be fully revealed to the public after it was passed and implemented. Taken in full context, her statement was on the spot. Not one of us would ever have known what the benefits of the bill would be for us until after it was passed. And that turned out to be fact.
