This is the official pdf from the U.S. House of Representatives unveiled by Nancy Pelosi today.
It is 1,990 pages.
Time to start calling our Congressweasels to insist that they read the entire document before voting on it.
Interesting that the cabal refused to give the location for the doc.
Knew FR would have the link.
Thank You sir/madam!
Whew—I thought “1,990 bill” was new jargon for $1.9 Trillion.
I bet Rush has a couple of people reading as much of this as they can. I know Glenn is going to start on it tonight too.
Why doesn’t it have a number assigned to it yet? H.R.____
I also heard a bunch of seniors were arrested at Pelosi's conference for protesting her. It was all roped off and sealed.
Listening to Jim Vicevich, our local (Hartford, CT) conservative talk radio host now... he says there’s a public option in it (surprise!) and tax hikes on those making $500,000+. That’s all I know so far...
(h) FUNDING; TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY.— (1) IN GENERAL.—There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000,000 to pay claims against (and administrative costs of) the high-risk pool under this section in excess of the premiums collected with respect to eligible individuals enrolled in the high-risk pool. Such funds shall be available without fiscal year limitation.
(2) INSUFFICIENT FUNDS.—If the Secretary estimates for any fiscal year that the aggregate amounts available for payment of expenses of the high-risk pool will be less than the amount of the ex-penses, the Secretary shall make such adjustments as are necessary to eliminate such deficit, including reducing benefits, increasing premiums, or establishing waiting lists.
Ping (for when I get my law degree)
Well, having a high risk pool is more than many high risk folks have now.

Is this third party ACORN?
If the pay czar has his way no one will qualify for this tax.
Under 27 years of age seems pretty old to be a dependent child.
It contains some really great stuff shuch as:
“Childhood” is prolonged as far as possible, so that ‘children’ are eligible for more and more taxpayer funded goodies. See?
Public funding of abortion will be allowed and a section is set aside for it.
what page is this?
We have to cover our children until they are 27?
Once the entire document is downloaded to your computer, you can use the find feature in the upper right hand corner of the document to search.
2.5% penalty is much cheaper than what I pay now, what does that get me on the public side? hehe

2 COVERAGE.
3 (a) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH INSURANCE COV
4 ERAGE DEFINED.—Subject to the succeeding provisions of
5 this section, for purposes of establishing acceptable cov
6 erage under this division, the term ‘‘grandfathered health
7 insurance coverage’’ means individual health insurance
8 coverage that is offered and in force and effect before the
9 first day of Y1 if the following conditions are met:
10 (1) LIMITATION ON NEW ENROLLMENT.—
11 (A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in
12 this paragraph, the individual health insurance
13 issuer offering such coverage does not enroll
14 any individual in such coverage if the first ef
15 fective date of coverage is on or after the first
16 day of Y1.
Am I reading this correctly that a person can keep their current coverage as long as the insurance company does not offer any more individual policies to anyone? So everyone will eventually be rolled in to the government's program? Seems like that was in the previous "bill" that was released.
And of course it also looks like the pre-existing conditions coverage nonsense is in it.
I wonder who write THIS particular monstrosity. Was it the Apollo Alliance once again, the same group that wrote the stimulus bill?
There you have it... And those stupid liberals thought things like denials and waiting lists or RATIONING of care would be gone? HA! Thank you for pulling that out... Posting to my facebook in a bit...
LOL. Not just "Without Coverage", but "Without ACCEPTABLE Coverage."
Gee, I wonder who gets to decide what's "acceptable." I know it won't be me....
So, are you saying you SUPPORT this bill then?
They’ll probably push the age for Student loans up to 27, too. Which means that kids like me — who move out when they are 18 will still be considered as children and not eligible for student loans NOT based upon their parents’ income... 27 years old is pushing it WAY too far, IMHO.
What is the first day of Y1??? My husband just changed jobs and we won’t be eligible for his new insurance for 90 days. Does this mean my family will HAVE to be on the “public option” for the rest of our lives with NO choice?!?!?!
Someone, please do get back to me on this if I’m reading it wrong!!! Is this just for INDIVIDUAL policies or GROUP policies???
Darn, my dad made me start paying my own way when I was 18. Oh wait. Maybe that is why I have been self sufficient for the past 40 years. Thanks dad.

This is the Congressional Budget Office’s letter to Rangel which summarizes the bill.
page 1776 is missing.......
What’s not to love about National Socialist Health Care?
Welcome to the USSA, comrade. You must learn to love Big Brother.
1,990 pages of pure socialist crap!!! Another call tomorrow to my libturd Tim Walz MN(1) to rant & rave!!!
wonder why page 1776 is missing...................
it’s there

The CBO letter says that insurers “could not vary premiums to reflect differences in enrollees’ health” (page 4). And page 22 of HR 3962 says there cannot be more than 2-to-1 difference between the highest and lowest premiums of any enrollee.
Young people are going to be shocked when their premiums explode.
Insurance companies are drooling at the prospect of signing up (by force) millions of healthy young uninsured Americans at ridiculously high premiums.
This is why the insurance companies have been staying quiet about ObamaCare. When Baucus tried to defer the forced-enrollment requirement for a few years they got angry. Then the pitchforks and negative ad campaigns started.
“Time to start calling our Congressweasels to insist that they read the entire document before voting on it.”
I will be honest here. I do not care if they vote on it without reading it, so long as they vote against it until they can read it and analyze it.
