A GOP congressman who voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a controversial Republican plan said Thursday that nobody had actually read the entire text of the legislation. “I don’t think any individual has read the whole bill,” Rep. Thomas Garrett (R-Va.) said on MSNBC. “That’s why we have staff.”The comments came just hours before the House passed the American Health Care Act, also known as Trumpcare. The amended text of the AHCA, which Republicans had previously lauded for its brevity, wasn’t made public until Wednesday night. The Congressional Budget Office has still not evaluated the measure to determine how much it would cost and what it would do to the health care system.
