Media echo GOP's fixation on size of House health care reform bill

Following the release of the House Democrats' health care reform bill, the leaders of the House Republican caucus repeatedly stressed the length and size of the bill during an October 29 press conference. Numerous media figures and outlets have followed in lockstep, with the Politico's Jonathan Allen asserting that the bill "comes out to about $2.24 million per word," and Sean Hannity claiming that "if you can't put this down in 30 pages or less, it proves that this is a complicated, you know, bunch of bureaucratic garbage."

Boehner issues statement on "Speaker Pelosi's 1,990-Page Government Takeover of Health Care." House Minority Leader John Boehner stated on October 29 that "[t]he fact that it weighs in at nearly 2,000 pages -- more than 620 pages longer than the government takeover of health care Hillary Clinton proposed in 1993 -- is as good an indication as any of just how costly and unsustainable Speaker Pelosi's proposal is."

Barton: "[T]hat's about four reams of paper." Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) stated at the October 29 Republican leadership press conference, "I would say, 1,990 pages -- that's about four reams of paper. I would say that the people getting reamed are the American people."

...

Cantor: Do the people believe this "nearly 2,000-page bill is not going to explode the federal deficit? I don't think so." Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) stated at the press conference, "Do the American people really believe this bill -- this nearly 2,000-page bill -- is not going to explode the federal deficit? I don't think so." As he spoke, Cantor held up the bill.
