If I recall, the Republicans had little if anything to say in the ACA bill. Didn't they get a copy of the 1000+ page bill a day of so before the congressional vote?

In looking at the actual bill, there is so much referencing to other laws,  regulations, etc., that it's easy to see the bill was  long in the back room before it was rolled out to the light.

Wasn't the house speaker in such a hurry, she make her famous quote about having to pass the bill to see how it worked?
