Reading Healthcare Reform

The Czar has an announcement he would like to make.

While sitting here scratching the insects from his facial hair (Agh! Beard lice, thy name is Legion!), the Czar realized that he has yet to read the actual proposal or healthcare reform, despite having commented on it repeatedly.

The Czar hereby announces that he attempt to do so. But which one? The Czar chose HR 3200, the version supported by chief cenobite Henry Waxman (pictured). The bill is 1017 pages long.

The Czar acknowledges that he will be only one of a hundred people (including three in Congress) to read this thing.

In return, the Czar will attempt to post his reactions to what he is reading every 100 pages or so, for a total of 10 posts on the subject. The Czar will not comment on every item, but will make observations in general. Items of specific interest will be cited so that you can double-check.

Wish us luck. We are already nearly 100 pages in, and this thing is...well, it is simply bizarre. But the Czar has already figured out the game. He now understands two things:

1. Why its supporters think this is a great idea.

2. Why the United States must never, ever, ever allow this thing to pass.
