This is Robert Scirocco bringing you today's Law Bit.

Congress is now preparing to introduce legislation radically changing the laws pertaining to health care.

Whether you are for or against more government intervention in the health care system, most of us would agree that whatever bill is voted on and signed into law by the President should be read and understood by our representatives in Washington.

But that’s not the case. The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee recently boasted in a speech given at the National Press Club in Washington that these bills are way too complicated and it would take him too many days assisted by too many lawyers to make sense of the health care legislation – so he’ll just vote on it instead of bothering to read it.

This is one reason why Congress’ approval rating is at an all time low.

This is Robert Scirocco, Attorney at Law, Budd Lake, New Jersey, bringing you today's Law Bit.
