The right is on an uproar over the size of the health care bill and the Politico is following suit:
The House health care bill unveiled Thursday clocks in at 1,990 pages and about 400,000 words. With an estimated 10-year cost of $894 billion, that comes out to about $2.24 million per word. .
Wow those are some expensive words, but not as bad as $425.9 million per word. That would come from the authorization for the Iraq war (pdf document), which has cost over $925 billion and clocks in at 2,174 words.
