I shit you not. She had the actual temerity to put this in writing
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation—innovation begins in the classroom—clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform. Health insurance reform is about jobs. This legislation alone will create 4 million jobs, about 400,000 jobs very soon.
I’m not even going to touch that last part, it is so patently absurd. Even considering the number of people who will be hired by the government to administer health care, it is utterly beyond fantasy. And, she apparently misses that who “consent of the governed” and “ethical and open government” stuff.

She forgot to make her statement undisprovable by saying ‘create or save‘!
