When President Obama addresses Congress and the nation tonight, he should pledge to do three things.
First, he should announce that he will discard the 1,018-page health bill drafted in the House of Representatives and replace it with a 20-page bill in plain English. Twenty pages should be sufficient. The framers of the US Constitution established an entire federal government in 18 pages.
One reason for the rancor over the current health bill is that few people, including members of Congress, know what it says.
When those who have read it point to its dangerous provisions, the bill's defenders offer vague denials, and most people have no way of knowing who is telling the truth. Its not just the bill's length that's the problem.
Intentionally or not, the bill gives readers the runaround.

I was reading here on FR about the fact that the CZARs are useful to 0bama when the legislation passed has vague language and the CZARs can then step in and enact in policy what couldn't be enacted in the legislature.
This is the abuse of the Constitution that should lead to the CZARs being ruled unconstitutional IF a conservative lawyer somewhere steps up and CHALLENGES them...
We can't rely on Glenn Beck to do all our work for us.
LOL...clean up the formatting...I think that is one of the major problems!
Well...it IS a lipstick on a pig issue, that is for sure.
Was it Nancy Pelosi who recently said we shouldn’t worry about the details of this?
Good Lord...the meat of the torture on this legislation IS going to be in the details!
Absolutely.
