HR3962 Health Care Bill (PDF)

Robert, you and me both. Plus it was revised how many times? So much for going green, eh? (LOL)

LMAO @ J Phillip. I find myself thinking I am having a diarrhea of explicatives for the constipated brains who wrote this (LOL). As a small business person who would love to grow her business, this bill gives me pause. A few really talented friends who make way more than I are already calculating the fines they plan on paying by not doing this (LOL). I feel for the ones who are seriously thinking of giving up their office help.

Candice, my love, it's a tricky read because following along with the replacements are soooo boring until you get to a part that casually says we're having a healthcare corps yadda uadda yadda blah blah blah who may or may not be US employees. Does that mean gov v private sector or out of country subcontractors? If something isn't prohibited, does that make it permissible if the wording is specifically vague enough? My cell phone was sold to me in the US, made in China and every time I want to talk to someone about it I find myself in India. Is this the new hypothetical health design? My doc is in NY, my health insurance issued by the City of New York, but now some unknown factor in an unknown location gets to tell them and me if my second visit to the hospital for a recurrence of the same issue should have been avoided so I trigger a "fine" notification and here's my portion I have to pay because "they" will not approve the expenditure or procedure. If  call the number will I get a subcontractor from the IRS or India? Will his person say: "It's not a "tax" but we can take it from your pending tax refund." My imagination is in overdrive so I may have to read this several times and highlight things.I'm kinda pissed because i picked my doctors based upon my belief they will help me. Now my docs are being told what to do by someone I did not pick. If I'm rich this wont affect me, if I am not, I will not get the same quality of care. The Sentate didn't cut their benefits but they cut mine. Free choice for the best care I deem fit was a benefit.

LOL @ JL. I know I need medical attention. My eyes are crossing (LOL). They make me want to go to school for nursing. If you promise them two years or more you get a lot of perks. Some hospitals in NY also pick up part of your tab as well. The right combination equals 1/3 to 1/5 a free educational ride. Great. A new side line for me to consider (LOL).

Bob and Carolin, I'm not sure what it all means so I may have to read it several times because a lot of similar ideas bounce back and forth if you look at it as a theme of subsections meddling with issues rather than simply a health care bill regarding one's health.

Ann, I hear there were a few people who said their assistants explained it to them when their constituents went off (LOL) ;-)
