How many earmarks in health care bill?

Nobody seems to know. The bill was handled by a large number of lawmakers, many of them adding their own little earmarks and pet projects into it. Even though a very large number of people opposed it, it was passed anyway, almost by force. And they DID NOT read it. We should all be ashamed of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who stated that we could find out what's in it after it was passed. America is really in for it now. There's no telling what kind of nasty little surprises are hidden in that bill, many of them having absolutely nothing to do with healthcare reform.
