The House Republican health proposal is <strong><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/11/03/politics/main5510731.shtml" rel="nofollow">230</a></strong> pages. Just right (except that it doesn’t provide insurance to the uninsured, doesn’t block insurers from denying coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions, and doesn’t close the Medicare Part D “donut hole”). Meanwhile, hundreds of <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meeting/republican-ideas" rel="nofollow">Republican</a> amendments were adopted into the bipartisan House and Senate bills that have already passed and all four of the Republican principles of health reform are already incorporated into President Obama’s proposal. Of course, that doesn’t mean obstructionist Congressional Republicans will ever vote for it. I guess you’re right. The House Republican health proposal is 230 pages.

The Health Care Bill should be longer than 11 pages, but shorter than 1,990. Where’s your confusion? The Health Care Bill should be longer than 11 pages, but shorter than 1,990.
