Since most members dont vote in the committees with jurisdiction over the reform bills, there is no reason for those members to read more than cliff note versions of every iteration of the various bills in question....until such tme that final versions are brought to the floor for full votes.

Then read the "plain English" section-by-section version, which in itself is likely to be a 100+ pages.
