Republican Decides Health Care Bill Isn't Long Enough
Rachel Slajda | December 10, 2009, 11:54AM

Republicans have been complaining about the length of the health care reform bill for months, printing it out and carrying it around to press conferences and sometimes dropping it on the ground for auditory effect. But today, at least one Republican is singing a different tune.

"Why is it only 2,074 pages?" Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) asked this morning, Wonk Room reports.

"We talk about 2,074 pages, which seem like a lot, and it would be for a normal bill that you could debate in a limited period of time, which is what we're being asked to do. But 2,074 pages isn't nearly enough to cover health care for America," he said.

They have also been urging Reid to let them "stay and vote" this weekend after Harry said yesterday he thought it would be in everyone's best interest to go home this weekend.
