I decided to spice things up a bit here with the addition of “The Reckoning”. I will leave it up to you to see if this constitutes a tongue-in-cheek reference to 80’s sequels, or the reality of this bill.

Here are my observations from pages 143 to page 204 of HR 3200:
SEC. 301. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
For an individual’s responsibility to obtain acceptable coverage, see section 59B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as added by section 401 of this Act).
MY NOTE: What you see above is the entirety of Section 301, which may be the shortest in the entire bill. Read more
I decided last week that I am going to read the entire proposed health care bill, HR 3200, also known as America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. It has been hotly debated lately on a national level, and I wanted to know firsthand what was contained therein that could inspire such passion on both sides.
I have never been one to allow others to form my opinions for me, and I have a feeling that this particular topic is one that will be discussed for some time. I want to be able to speak knowledgably about this issue. There is no better place to garner this information than directly from the source itself.
My guess is that it will take me a few weeks to work my way through the bill, since it is essentially 1100 pages of legalese. That being said, I am committed to finishing this quest. I do know that this is not the final version, as it must progress through committees before getting to any vote. That being said, there is so much discussion about this that I wanted to learn as much as I could.
I am presently neither in favor of this bill nor am I fully opposed to it, although that will probably change as I read further. I intend to do my best to present the facts in a neutral manner. Read more
