In the Battle of the Health Bills, the Senate wins out, bulk-wise – weighing in at 2,074 pages.
The House health reform bill was a mere 1,990 pages when introduced.
That means the Senate bill -- like the one in the House -- runs more pages than War and Peace, and has nearly five times as many words as the Torah.
The table of contents alone is 14 pages.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: obamacare; reid; senate
At three minutes a page Coburn could take 103.7 hours, or 2.59 weeks, just to read this monstrosity. Let's hope he does just that.

The table of contents is longer that the US Constitution.

Who said (paraphrased) that if you can’t state your idea in three pages or less, it’s useless?

2074 pages. Easy to read and understand. Nothing could be hidden in there. Please move along. Nothing to see here. It doesn’t concern you.
