“Now, I wasn’t born yesterday, and I know why they are doing this, but this is our healthcare we are talking about, and they have deliberately tried to bury as much of it in incomprehensible legalese as they can get it. It made me madder and madder as I tried to go through it.

THEY DON’T WANT ANYONE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS.”

And yet, you are reading it and painstakingly deciphering their BS legalese which is incomprehensible at first/second/third glance.
You’re doing it...keep going!
Stop reading their BS whenever you begin to sense utter confusion or disorientation but save your notes. Post those notes here on FR.
You’re a brave one and I appreciate your efforts. :)

I'll second that. They write these bills in the manner they do to obfuscate meaning. I've taken deep dives into legislation before and you'd be amazed at how powerful a single line of text saying something like this...

14 (1) in subsection (b)(4)—
15 (A) in subparagraph (B), by striking the first comma.

You can change the entire meaning of a sentance by striking, or adding a single comma. This kind of skulduggery is done all the time.
