I would like to be able to read the bill so that I know what questions to ask.

[avacado]

Google: HR 3200
Google: health care bill text

[Scythian]

Google “I’m sorry, you cannot have that procedure, go die now” ...

Just ask this. How will putting 200,000 new government buerocrats and 50 new government agencies between me and my Dr. improove the quality and cost of my healthcare? Or. Why do you call it a government option when it is not “optional”.?

[Artemis Webb]

You are not to read it.
You are not to question it.
Even asking is unpatriotic.
Now that you’re a Nazi how does it feel?
Go now, turn from your evil ways and do the bidding of our Great Leader.

Thank you.

Go to

http://thomas.loc.gov

Type “HR.3200” (skip the quotes but don’t forget the dot) in the search and select “bill number”, then click search.

The full text of the bill is available, plus status, co-sponsors, etc.

I thought about that when I was in my doctor’s office last week. I thought about a bill from Aug 2006 that was in dispute and Tricare (military insurance) JUST helped me resolved a few weeks ago. If I have an issue like this and there is even more red tape it might take me 10 years to get things fixed.

Be sure to read pages 16 - 19. Then listen to the President of the United States lie his arse off about how you get to keep your private health care plan.

In New Zealand whenever I want to read a bill I request a copy from my Member of Parliament. Yes, I am perfectly capable of yanking it off the Internet and printing it myself, but why should I?

I have never been refused.

If everybody who wanted to read a bill did as I do, our Member of Parliament would get a better feel for the level of interest-or-otherwise each bill generated in our community. If you do not use the services of your Member of Parliament, he or she will (with some justification) feel it is OK for them to do exactly whatever they like. And they do.

You Yanks should do like we do. Contact your Member-of-Parliament (or equivalent) and ask the lazy mungrel to produce the bill for you to read and analyze. Everybody should do that.

If he says “no”, ask louder and keep asking until he says “yes”. It is not OK for him or her to do what they like without reference to you lot. Unfortunately, because most voters are lazy, that is precisely what they do.

Therefore, put them to work doing useful things. That is the way a Freedom-Loving People behave. We make our public servants serve us.

You should, too.

You ask for a simple link and you get 30 posts....without a link!

A good question would be how can you manage a health care program when you can’t even manage Social security, medicare, medicaid, or the USPS. Money that went into Social security through taxes was used or dipped into for other purposes. Who’s to say that they will not do the same with our taxpayer dollars for healthcare. They are complaining that insurance companies are making a profit - So their bright idea is for the government to make that profit so that they have more money to spend on themselves.

Use as an example the airlines industry - they regulate them, but do not own them. Why not regulate the insurance companies, allow citizens to purchase insurance across state lines and make them a non-profit organization. The government should not be a monopoly which is what they are trying to do.

Thank you for your advice. Lately our public servants have only been serving themselves.

Here's a picture of what it looks like. If you plan on printing a copy, get plenty of printer paper first!

I was thinking the same thing....what an Un American racist hatemonger!

[brwnsuga]

Thank you, that is helpful. I just clicked over to it and I have alot of reading to do. I can’t believe anyone would think to vote on a bill of so much importance, without reading it.
