My argument would be that if it takes almost 2,000 pages to document this proposed legislation then probably it should be broken into more manageable parts. For instance :
A bill for reform and reduction of medical costs.
A bill for a mandate for employer provided coverage
A bill establishing a public insurance plan option
etc...
If it's a good law all parts should be able to stand on their own. Producing something this large and complicated smacks of trying to "sneak things through". At this point Pelosi has now gone back on her commitment to post the full bill for 72 hours before a vote because they are still cramming stuff into it. Not a single legislator will have read the whole bill, let along understand it, before voting. Which means they aren't doing their jobs right.
