What we have here is a health care bill that indeed does have a few pages and some parts that we all agree on and we want to work on those together. However, there are also thousands of pages of other problems and tens of thousands of pages, perhaps hundreds of thousands of pages yet to be written by boards, panels and commissions yet to be appointed on issues we have yet to know what is going to be included in this. And that is part of the reason why employers are frightened about what may be in this bill. Members of Congress shake their heads and say how could something so massive--and it's going to cost over a trillion dollars a year to administer this plan--how could this happen without Congress really having oversight?
