Yeah, so does everyone in Congress. Apparently it was over 1,000 pages long back in July and it's only grown since then.   They all readily admit to having not read the whole thing or even a good chunk of it.

The gist of it is simply a single-payer system such that the government pays 100% of the costs of your health care.


The pros and cons are going to be subjective to the beliefs of the person providing them. So you'll never get a valid list of pros and cons due to the dichotomy of opinion over the bill.


With that in mind, I'll present my cons in short form. Pros do not exist at all.

Further burdens the tax payer and national debt.
Reduces the health insurance industry to nothing.
Empowers the government.
Failure is imminent (See all other government programs).
It removes the free market economy even further than it already is.
It clashes with the Capitalistic principles our nation was founded and operates on.
Far better health care reform options exist and are being completely ignored.
