Congress is similar to most other large organizations, such as large software companies. In a large company software company the upper level managers don't actually read all the code. They make their decisions based what managers below them report, and so on down the management chain.
Representatives and Senators are Congress' equivalent to those upper level managers.
The House has over 6000 staff members, ranging from staff working for individual representatives to staff employed by committees. The Senate has over 4000 staff members. Those are the people that deal with nitty gritty details of the bills.
