I am on a Quest That I Started Last Night - It's only 1,100 Pages Long, After All
Thank you so much for doing this! And a huge thank you for sharing your thoughts. Where did you find the copy of the bill to read?
After watching debates about the proposed health care bill HR 3200 over the past few weeks, I have heard one common refrain from both sides:
"Have you even read the bill?"
To this point, I didn't feel comfortable entering a detailed discussion about this bill, because I couldn't honestly state that I had.
That is about to change.
Last night, I began a journey of sorts. I intend to read the entire bill.
Yes, I know that it is not in its final form, but it's a start. I want to see for myself what the truth is. I don't like pundits forming my opinions for me. I have heard loud arguments from both sides about what is contained therein.
I intend to share my "findings" here and elsewhere as I progress. For now, I am just making notes. I know that this task will take me awhile, but I am patient. So far, I have only had to look up two words on Wikipedia. :)
I mentioned this idea on Facebook last night, and it was met with more discussion than I have seen on any of my previous status updates. One of my friends there made an interesting point (which I agree with): If the bill turns out to be too difficult for us to read, this seems like a bad direction to be headed.
If you have any input/suggestions or questions, let me know.
