Fox News' Neil Cavuto hosted speed-reader Howard Berg to read the “new” House of Representatives health care bill live on today's Your World with Neil Cavuto.
I wonder how long it will take Berg to realize that he's read this bill before.
The only thing “new” that was published today is the 153-page reconciliation package. But Berg was tasked to read not only the reconciliation bill, but the health care bill that the Senate passed in December, which the reconciliation bill amends. That Senate health bill was based mostly on the Senate Finance committee's health reform bill Berg already read on Your World back in October.
Someone should also alert Cavuto and Berg that the vast majority of what Berg just read, the final Senate health bill as passed, has been posted online for months (no speed-reading necessary!) and the House posted a pretty simple section-by-section summary of the reconciliation bill released today. It's about seven pages long.
