It may be the heaviest piece of legislature ever to emerge from our nation’s capitol. I’m talking about the health care bill, which is 1,990-pages long, and weighs in at 19.6 pounds–if printed on single sides of paper.

If it passes, it would be among the longest pieces of House legislation ever, congressional historians say.

So my question is why? Obesity is a major problem in this country, and that does not only for people but for bloated bills circling through Congress.

Why is the healthcare bill so long and verbose? I bet I could write one up that would take up about 5 pages, maybe up to 10 if I wanted to get wordy.

Is anyone really going to sit and read this thing? Does anyone know what it says? Could this be why there is so much chatter and pouting about getting it passed–because no one knows exactly what’s in it, and refuse to spend the better part of their life reading it?

They’re supposed to vote tomorrow. The whole idea of healthcare reform has changed from a golden opportunity to a 3 ring circus. Send in the clowns–wait, they’re already here.
