There are almost 2,000 pages to a Comprehensive Health Care Reform Bill introduced on the House floor by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
If you dont want to read the document, and your a fan of Republican Congressman John Shimkus, he is reading it for you. He says he's doing that so his constituents can "have a life, like go to church or a sausage supper."
"Constituents are really demanding that. I think rightly so. I wanted to use the new technology by tweeting. I've had a lot of comments because people were following me" said Congressman Shimkus.
Congressman Shimkus is posting his comments about the package on his Twitter page.
He told KMOX's Mark Reardon he's not finished with his page-by-page effort. "I'm half way through, at 1,042" He has over 800 pages to go.
The congressman expects to be in Washington well into next week debating health care reform.
