NEW YORK, Nov. 20 "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.

"The nation's legislators have lost touch with the power of simple expression. The American people are entitled to clear, accessible communications in order to make informed decisions," continues Mr. Siegel.

"As Thomas Jefferson said: 'When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it.'"
