Lovers, Haters, Read the Bill

How about section 552, where they are taxing medical equipment.

Aren't they claiming they want to lower costs, or is that my imagination?

The most liberal proponents of health care reform, such as Mr. Weiner of NY, are saying much the same about this bill.

1990 pages? Seriously? What is the avg reading speed of liberal elitists? Speed readers avg 1000 wpm. So at 1000 w/m, reading for six hours a day, how long would it take?
Good luck to anyone who will do this. Godspeed.

Have you looked at the bill? We aren't talking single-spaced, no-margin pages. One bill page has -- at best -- as much content as a quarter page in a paperback; the rest is formatting.

Looks good to me. I hope our government is successful in their ultimate goal. The people deserve it.

All well and good, except for one SERIOUS problem. They're almost all under 30. Actually explains a lot.

I doubt there's an age cap for congressional aides. Of course, there's the problem of convincing our older and, uh "wiser" citizens to take the job. What's that haughty phrase I've seen and heard so often? Oh, yeah...
