We wish Congress deserved the type of praise health care professionals do because of their dedication to fighting disease. Unfortunately, it does not. Recently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., unveiled a new national health care proposal. She then began pushing for the House to vote on it this week. We will make a prediction, with full confidence that we are correct: If the House votes on the bill next week, not one representative will understand the measure fully. It is 1,990 pages long. We doubt that even Pelosi could go far beyond the talking points about it prepared by her staff. Most journalists will not read the entire bill, either. They simply do not have time. As a result, only a tiny minority — fewer than 1 percent, in our estimation — of Americans will know what it is that liberals in the House intend to foist upon us. That is not an accident or a necessity.
