3. They've had more than a few weeks to address the burgeoning
healthcare crisis... so they really need to look back and see why they have done little to nothing about it.

8. And there aren't even very many words on each page....
.... seriously, because of the font and the spacing, it's not like they're normal pages in a book.

If I get bored later I may time myself to see how long it takes to read an average page. It cant be more than 20 seconds.

9. i don't get it...what do they think the ballpark number should be?
the bill IS trying to (halfway) reform a bloated and heavily entrenched system serving hundreds of millions of people...

10. Yet they weren't complaining about the Patriot Act
If I remember right, that was longer and so many had not read it.

I remember Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 911 reading it through a loudspeaker in a truck driving around the Capitol.
