"How is it we can run the country with a 16-page Constitution yet it takes 2,074 pages and more than 400,000 words of gobbledygook to present the Senate Health Care Bill?" asks Alan Siegel, one of the founders of the Plain English and Simplification movements and Chairman and CEO of brand consultancy Siegel+Gale.
