House Healthcare Bill Longer Than 'War and Peace'
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
You knew it would be long, but 1,990 pages? That's how big the House Democratic leadership healthcare reform bill is that Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled today. So how does that size up to other major works? Well, some critics have begun sending around lists to giggle at, including this:
- King James Version of the Bible: 1,024 pages
- Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged: 1,200 pages
- War and Peace: 1,296 pages
- American Constitutional Law by Lawrence Tribe
: 1,470 pages
- The 2010 U.S. News Ultimate College Guide: 1,768 pages
- Democratic healthcare bill: 1,990 pages
And you can bet that those who want to read it in Congress are already flipping pages because Rep. Chris Van Hollen today told reporters that members will get just 72 hours to read the initial bill and then another 72 to read the changed version before it goes to the House floor for a vote.

SOCIALISM!
Why does the Heathen rage? Anyone with a half a brain could see that the Stimulus Package only stimulated payoffs, pork, and laid the ground work to grow a Socialist takeover. The Cap and Trade Bill has nothing to do with Global Warming. It has everything to do with taxing Americans into oblivion and destroying Small Businesses, while we give up our sovereignty to the U.N. The Socialized Medicine Bill has nothing to do with Healthcare. It has everything to do with a total Socialist take over of our Republic!
Pelosi is a *itch
Sure would be convenient for a bus to run her over!
72 hours to read 1990 pages?
Pelosi and her group of obscene liberals are simply attempting to ram through a
massive spending bill without allowing to ponder this mess.
