That's a great idea imo...then if we ever get enough compitent people in office who have the real knowledge needed, they could start over and create a better bill that EVERYBODY can understand (maybe 100 pages instead of 2800).
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
The number of pages in the bill, while a fascinating story of irrelevant GOP talking-points, has little to do with what had to be documented in great detail due to the never-ending labyrinth of hoops the health care INDUSTRY wanted the government to jump through in order to protect its business... They didn't just decide to "add a few hundred pages" to be adding them.
So, unless you're a Herb Cain with a reading-comprehension problem, and a short attention-span, it takes as many pages as it takes... No more, no less....
It has nothing to do with "compitent" [sic]....(or "competent", either...)
2800 pages aren't excessive? To me it just sounds like a good way to hide pork and not permit the public time to digest the document before it is voted on.
Wouldn't it be better for a republican democracy to vote on a different examined section every week but some here want it rammed down the country's throat before our reps and their staffs even have a chance to read it, much less the public for the greatest change in healthcare since the mid 1940's.
Transparancy and sunshine laws should work at the federal level too.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
It was voted on... It was passed... Get over it...
It will either be struck down by the SCOTUS, or it won't. But if any parts of it are struck down, it was written in a way such that the rest of it will still not be repealed... Get over it.
And I want to see it tweaked...not repealed.
Good luck telling people who have pre-existing conditions that their coverage will be cancelled. Good luck telling parents that their kids between the ages of 18-25 will no longer be covered. Good luck telling small business owners that they will have to go out and get raped by the insurance companies instead of getting group-rates under the Exchanges that are being created.... Get over it.
