That quote Pelosi said was about the disparate bills in House and Senate. In order to see the final bill, each side had to pass it so a merge committee would be made to combine the bill. Then the merge-bill would be re-forwarded back to Senate/House for a final vote. Or what she should have said: "We have to pass the House Bill before we can see the Merged bill." But a 10 second republican talking point snippet makes her look bad. But if you know how Congress works, it makes a heck of a lot of sense.
