Senate Finance Committee members have been notified that the committee's health reform bill was filed today. S. 1796 weighs in at 1,502 pages, according to a Senate Republican leadership source. It's still not up yet on the Finance Committee website or Thomas.gov. We'll post a link as soon as we get one.

Read the bill.

So what's new?

For some reason, we're expected to know every law that exists in America & in our state so we don't break it. We're supposed to know this when we're 18. There's no litmus test for them, as in the 10 commandments or rhyme or reason. C.U.R.E. Thank God for bugs, they keep people in solitary confinement company.

I called and encouraged my representative and senators to oppose this proposed legislation.

Thanks. Michael!

What about the 4 or 5 other health care reform bills they are trying to merge with this one? If anyone has those bill #'s or names handly, please post those also. I caught the news that Obama is now holding exclusive meetings including certain members of Congress to ramp up the public option plan. ( Also, I wonder if Rahm is sending out the dead fish warnings yet? )
