Are you saying that neither the Congress or the public had enough information with which to make an informed decision on whether to be for or against the proposed bill? And as far as costs are concerned, what was the purpose of the multiple "scorings" of various iterations of the bill by the Congressional Budget Office? Are you saying we didn't know what the costs might be? And the trend of rising healthcare costs, we didn't know about that either?

Now you're blaming the President for not arranging for enough debate or information on the bill? Or worse yet, that he actually inhibited the dissemination of information for the purpose of just getting the bill passed?

Ahh, I forgot. According to you President Obama has the omnipotent power to control all information and communication from all sources, public or private. And further, it's up to him to explain it all to you. But you don't want to listen to him because he's a Marxist-socialist-far left leaning progressive whose statements can't be trusted. That's a bit of a conundrum for you, isn't it?
