General impressions of the Health Care Act.: These are ManyMoose's opinions for what they are worth. Several hundred pages of the Act toward the end referred to Health Care for Indians. I guess it's not really a pejorative to refer to Native Americans as Indians any more. Congress has built itself a goddamn house of cards, a circle jerk, if you will. As in: 14 SEC. 2572. NUTRITION LABELING OF STANDARD MENU 15 ITEMS AT CHAIN RESTAURANTS AND OF AR16 TICLES OF FOOD SOLD FROM VENDING MA17 CHINES. 18 (a) TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS.—Section 19 403(q)(5)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 20 Act (21 U.S.C. 343(q)(5)(A)) is amended— 21 (1) in subclause (i), by inserting ‘‘except as pro22 vided in clause (H)(ii)(III),’’ after ‘‘(i)’’ ; and 23 (2) in subclause (ii), by inserting ‘‘except as 24 provided in clause (H)(ii)(III),’’ after ‘‘(ii)’’. No doubt at some future time they will be inserting clause (I)(iii)(IV) after '(ii)'. I can honestly say I have laid eyes on every single page of this monstrosity, but I actually read only about a hundred pages. I read ten pages as assigned by Sarah Palin, but in order to understand the context of those ten pages I had to read the previous ten pages and the subsequent ten pages. I can't really blame Congress for not reading it, as it is positively painful. It would be cheaper to pay Congress to stay home provided they not pass any such legislation, and use the savings to give Congress the same access to health care that the rest of us have. (Or did I get that backwards?)
