Read the entire 1,900 pages of the Pelosi House healthcare bill here.

http://health.burgess.house.gov/UploadedFiles/House_HCR_bill.pdf

This may not be the final language because Pelosi indicated changes are still being made to the bill and that the final language of the bill will be posted on the internet sometime next week and will give members of the House 72 hours to study the final draft before they vote on it.

2. OK DU lawyers .... get to work on this!

Does ya think we needs some Philadelphia lawyers to interpret this bill?

Well, perhaps with some final revisions we can crack the 2,000 page goal!

Print and pass out copies of this to all your co-workers, friends and family so everyone understands what this legislation is all about.

3. Is there a valid reason why legislation like this has to be 2000-pages long?
How many of our representatives are actually going to read (and understand) this whole bill?

4. You have 72 hours to study and understand this bill. Hurry up!

And this is not yet the final bill! There will be some modifications to satisfy conservative abortion foes according to Pelosi and members of the House will have a full 72 hours to read, study and fully understand a final 2,000 page bill before they vote on it! If they don't sleep the House members will need to digest and understand 30 pages an hour. That's reasonable! :)

5. Is it any wonder our Republic is as screwed up as it currently is?
The inmates are running the asylum.
