My friends on the Democrat side are supporting this bill based on 10 pages of the legislation: immediate access to insurance for the uninsured, an extension of dependent coverage, no lifetime or annual caps. Ten pages. This health care law was 2,990 pages. This is only volume 1. What do you find when you go through the entire bill? This is what they are defending their bill on? This is only volume 1 of 4. And what's in here?--a $500 billion cut to Medicare, a $500 billion cut to Medicare for our seniors. What else is in here? Five hundred billion dollars of tax increases. What else is in here? Six years of benefits for 10 years of cost. What else is in here? A new entitlement program. Our Nation is broke. It is broke because of our entitlement program, and this law added a new entitlement.
