ObamaCare: Already NOT delivering on what was promised

This is what happens when a bill is rammed through Congress without most of its members reading it.

From the Senate Republican Communications Center:

ABOUT THOSE 2,800 PAGE BILLS…

Health Bill Signed Into Law Yesterday Is Already Not Delivering On Promises

Bill Didn't Ban Discrimination For Pre-Existing Conditions In Children Immediately As Promised

AP: "Obama Made Better Coverage For Children A Centerpiece Of His Health Care Remake, But It Turns Out The Letter Of The Law Provided A Less-Than-Complete Guarantee That Kids With Health Problems Would Not Be Shut Out Of Coverage." ("Gap In Health Care Law's Protection For Children," AP, 3/23/10)

The Promise…

PRESIDENT OBAMA: "This Year, Tens Of Thousands Of Uninsured Americans With A Preexisting Condition And Parents Whose Children Have A Preexisting Condition Will Finally Be Able To Purchase The Coverage They Need." (President Obama, Remarks, 3/23/10)

Bill Left A "Giant Loophole" That Does Not Force Current Plans To Cover Young Adults "Today"

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER: "The Bill Obama Signed Leaves A Giant Loophole... The Law Exempts Current Insurance Policies From Having To Include Coverage For The Young Adults." ("For Young Adults, There's A Hitch In Health-Care Law," Philadelphia Inquirer, 3/24/10)

The Promise…

SEN. PATTY MURRAY (D-WA): "Starting today, insurance companies are going to be required to permit young people to stay on family policies until the age of 26, which is especially important, I must say, now that so many young people are having trouble finding that first job." (Sen. Murray, Congressional Record, S.1856, 3/23/10)

Here is one I found. From Bret Baier's interview with President Obama last week:

By the time the vote has taken place, not only will I know what's in it, you'll know what's in it, because it's going to be posted and everybody's going to be able to evaluate it on the merits.

That did not happen.

What other unhappy surprises are in that bill President Obama and most of the House didn't read?

And finally, from House Minority Leader John Boehner's fiery speech given shortly before the ObamaCare vote:

Have you read the bill? Hell no you haven't!
