Open Healthcare

So I've just finished a pre-med class that constituted doctors coming once a week to tell us about the health profession. One professional after another would say in reference to the healthcare bill "No one knows what's in the bill!"

I think that someone must know what is in that bill. (As a side note, I don't believe that anything good can come from nearly 2000 pages of compromises of the simple notion "Love thy neighbor".) So how can we publicize it. I figure we need to read it. (We also need to set a word limit on crazy politicians who think anyone is going to read a bill with a quarter million words in it.)

Bills of this size make politics closed by the huge barrier-of-entry that requires one to read it for days of ones life. Bills like this one try to make democracy a monarchy where power lies in the hands of rich politicians (who typically spend millions of dollars to get elected).

So here it is, a crazy bill (seen above in one hand) and a crazy idea. Check out the open congress website for the bill and then read a page yourself from the full text. I'll read page one. This bill affects us. Take this chance to read a little for yourself.
