Re: Health Care Bill is way too long to read

HR 3200 Health care bill
  • Introduced: July 14, 2009
  • Passed: 7 Nov, 2009
  • Lapsed: 116 days
  • Words in HR 3200 (according to copy from scribd -> txt -> textwrangler): 172,344
  • Estimate of words in an average NYTimes Paper (from http://www.oliverwyman.com/ow/14029.htm): 75,000
In regards to anyone who said they didn't have time to read, nonetheless understand, the Health Care Bill.
It is your job to understand prospective bills so you can make intelligent decision on how to vote and or amend them.
You don't have time to read 2.3 issues of a daily paper from front to back over the course of 116 days (nearly 4 months)?
Please resign and we'll find someone who is willing to do the job.
Thank you.
