Pelosi Unveils 1,990-Page House Health Care Bill

The AP reports that "Democrats issued a statement saying their 1,990-page measure 'lowers costs for every patient' and would not add to federal deficits. They put the cost of coverage at under $900 billion over 10 years, a total that excludes several items designed to improve benefits for Medicare and Medicaid recipients and providers, as well as public health programs and more." Oh boy, only $900 billion! How exciting! I am sure that is going to help bring down our already historic deficits. Further, will somebody please explain to me what business Congress has passing a 1,990-page bill in the first place? This is government gone wild!
