Really. 3 pages. So one page for interstate insurance. Sure. That makes sense. And I guess one page for tort reform... So how long are these pages? 1 million feet? Because I guarantee you, you can't do tort reform in one regular size (or legal size) page and have it make any sense, or stand up to challenges. But hey, don't let me intrude on a fantasy. But what a nice sound bite you have there.

The bill should be three pages: tort reform, interstate insurance, and open markets for prescription drug purchases. All sorts of retorts leap to mind. However, whatever is said, it's quite clear you have absolutely no idea how legislation is written. Whether Reps or Dems. If you wish to make an argument for the short form, go for it. On what grounds would you argue for it? What is your experience with writing legislation? On either side of the aisle? What I think you actually wanted to say was that this is the wrong bill; not that it was too long. Just make that argument.

Ok, so a quick google says malpractice is maybe 2% of health care, or maybe .6%, and drugs are maybe 10%, so if you zero them you're going to get 18% out of your one page interstate health insurance bill?
