1,990 Pages?! Nope, thats just white space and double spacing.
Don’t get me wrong, the new healthcare bill is definitely long, but lately (past several months) people seem to be claiming that the length of a bill is proportional to how bad it is.
Any legislative formatted document will be about 4 times its actual length.
For reference, here is the original HR 3962 1990 page proposed health bill pdf. (Original source of HR 3962)
Here it is cleaned up as a plain text file (just the content of the bill)
And here it is as a 519 page word doc.
It is pretty easy to find things you don’t like in this bill, even though I actually would like national health coverage I can find plenty in here that make me not want to support it in its current state. (Also easy to find things you do like if you look hard enough 
) Hint, grab the text version and load it up in your favorite text editor and start searching. My guess is they filled it with so much that is obviously controversial (govt funded abortions, etc) on purpose, so they can take it out as a negotiation tactic.
