Senate Draft Health Care bill in word cloud form

I kicked around the idea a few days ago of crunching the proposed health care reform legislation through a word cloud generator. It seemed like it’d be cool to see what words showed up more than others, so I found Wordle and started scheming. Take the text of the bills, strip the various section labels, the table of contents, and page numbers, and see if Wordle’s tool was up to the task. Or, would I crash by browser?

Voila! Below is the word cloud for the draft Kennedy-Dodd bill on health care reform. (It’s linked to the full-size image)

Here’s the House legislation as a word cloud.
